Poetry in the Meadow

Poetry in the Meadow @ Scenic Splendor
Come join us for a spring poetry retreat at Scenic Splendor Nature & Recreation Center and enjoy a relaxing opportunity to work on your writing through both guided nature-inspired prompts and independent creation time. You will have the opportunity to develop several new pieces, and enjoy the atmosphere of the meadow and surrounding features including a schoolhouse style building with wood stove, picnic shelter, and walking paths. Facilitated by local Poet and Instructor, Barbara Lorraine Laing (PhD, OCT). Bring a lunch or buy local from The Cookery and we’ll pick it up and deliver it to you!
Over lunch we’ll hear briefly from Dr. Kristin Buckley (agricultural literacy researcher and owner of Scenic Splendor) whose family history on this land goes back five generations. A special opportunity to learn from her experience and knowledge.
Four hours of dedicated writing time in the meadow! Sunday, May 31st, 10am to 3pm. 6 spots, $125 per person. Email barbara@picnicandpencil to reserve your spot.
