In this workshop we’ll slow down and practice tuning into the sensory world with curiosity and a beginner’s mind. Through mindfulness practices and creative prompts drawn from poetry, we’ll explore how attending to smells, textures, and sounds inspires writing that feels alive and immediate.

This is an invitation to move beyond observation and into presence, writing to inhabit the world more fully. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just beginning, you’ll leave with fresh material and new tools to bring vivid, unforgettable details into your work.

Offered through Amherst Writer’s and Artists Write Around the World fundraising event (sliding scale, $20-40).
