Classes
Let's gather. Let's connect. Let's write.
Join me for some True Nature Writing!
It's the perfect time of year to settle back into some routines, and to pick up your pen and write.
Gather with a small group of writers in an online class:
Online Classes
As we navigate the ups and downs of our lives, and the joys and challenges of our everyday, it can be difficult to stay in touch with what matters most. A writing practice is a great way to tap into our own truth, and the beautiful solid ground beneath our feet. Join me around the virtual writing table, and we'll write. Inspired by poetry, rich prose and nature, and fuelled by the creative magic that happens in a supportive group, we'll write. We'll mine our truths and our stories. We'll feel connected - to nature, to each other, and to our own resilience and vitality. Click here for the full description of True Nature Writing.
Multi-week sessions:
Treat yourself to the gift of some solid writing time and re-commit to your projects and the creative work that has been calling. Join me and a small group of fabulous folks and settle into a regular writing practice. Inspired by poetry and the nature around us, we'll write, we'll notice, we'll tune into ourselves, our stories, and the beauty and challenge of life. We'll tap memories, stories, and the current of our daily lives through summer's dwindling days and autumn's colourful beauty, and on into the stillness of winter.
In each Ninety-Minute Zoom session, we gather, do a short warm-up, then write three times and share our writing. You'll come away with a sense of vitality and gratitude, growing confidence in your written voice, and lots of writing in your notebook.

Collaborations and Custom Classes
I'm happy to bring True Nature Writing to you. I can be a guest at your writing or book club, your workplace staff retreat or professional development day, or a gathering of friends. Via zoom or in-person. Drop me an email and let's see if we can make something work.
I also love to collaborate with other programs and teachers. If you teach yoga, mindfulness, photography, visual art, music, outdoor education, to name a few, and feel that True Nature Writing might benefit your students, let's talk!
True Nature Writing is part of the Songs4Nature Program, co-ordinated by the Royal Sask Museum. The most recent adult camp happened in Grasslands National Park in September 2025. Have a listen to some of the music that has been created at these camps: https://songs4nature.bandcamp.com.
