Wild Ways to Writing offers a unique online creative writing journey into deeper Nature connection. Assisting participants to develop a ‘co-creative writing practice’ inspired by the natural world and our ‘wild self’, the 6 week course provides guidelines and themed assignments to inspire your outdoor writing adventures, followed by online feedback.
This 'wild writing ' journey is an opportunity to enhance authentic self-expression, develop your craft (prose and poetry) and nourish resilience & wellbeing in the face of collective planetary crises.
Helen has published three ecopoetry collections, Hedge Fund, And Other Living Margins (Shearsman Books, 2012), ECOZOA (Permanent Publications, 2015), acclaimed by John Kinsella as ‘a milestone in the journey of ecopoetics’, and The Mother Country (Awen Publications, 2019) exploring aspects of British colonial history. Helen has taught creative writing and poetry for over a decade and mentors students internationally. In 2020 her work was nominated for the Forward and Pushcart Prizes and received grants from the Royal Literary Fund and Arts Council England. She’s currently collaborating on a cross arts project with scientists and farmers in Dorset to examine pollution in Poole Bay and its river-systems.
