Nature Writing for Adults
"When Shakti flows upward, it becomes spirituality; when it flows outward, it manifests as creativity."
(Paraphrased from Wisdom of the Ancient Seers by Dr. David Frawley, inferred from the chapter “The Goddess, The Muse”)
The joy of being in a creative flow state is a right every human being should experience. Let’s reconnect with our inner creator and rediscover the magic of imagination.

Go from Consumption to Creation
Humans used to derive their sense of self from their passions and creations. A seamstress tailored her beautiful outfits, a baker baked delicious goodies and so on. But once the industrial revolution came with the creation of the assembly line, the act of creation was commercialised and now humanity derives its pleasure from consumption. Let's go back to our roots and explore different ways to explore our imagination and strengthen our creativity muscles.

Creative Writing
Nature Writing Classes has gifted me the pleasure of working on my creativity in a judgment-free space and having life-altering discussions with children who possess an unadulterated imagination. I think a similar space for adults is long overdue. We'll have discussions to stretch our creative thinking muscles and exercises to learn techniques for expressing our ideas to the world. We will have structured lessons for those who want to feel safe, while also exploring abstract concepts to gently embrace the uncertainty of creativity.

Reflection
This section is woven into the programme. For instance, we always finish our classes with gratitude. The students are also introduced to self-reflection tools such as journaling and writing activities to help apply the lessons in their lives. Some students choose to work on personal goals (easing up on perfectionism, learning to accept aspects of themselves, and becoming comfortable with public speaking, to name a few).
Open to anyone who wants to nurture their creativity, whether you're a writer, artist, or just someone seeking a fresh perspective.
