Wild Words Whisper: A Whimsical Garden Writing Ritual with Jess Barnum

Can you hear the whispers of wisdom whirling amidst the plant world? Plants are inspirational muses and their messages are sacred.

Join us for one, two, or all three classes in this summer series of storytelling & journaling in the Peace Garden at True Nature.

Schedule:

10:00AM – 12:00PM

• Thursday, June 12

As you fully immerse yourself in the various landscapes of the Peace Garden, you will explore the wilderness of your reciprocal relationship with Mother Earth through storytelling and journaling.

Learn a medley of wordplay and writing strategies that empower you to connect with plant muses, the elements, and your blueprint soul self. Experience the healing frequencies that resonate in your surrendering to spirit in the Peace Garden’s playground of collective Oneness.

Bring a writing utensil, a journal, and an abundance of wonder and willingness in the hub of your heart.
