Join us at The Conservation Foundation (TCF) as we discuss a new work each month! Whether it’s fiction, nonfiction or poetry, we’ll come together to learn, share and be inspired.
No need to register or pay a fee, just bring your ideas, questions and open minds as we delve into works that deepen our relationship to the land, ourselves and each other.
To find out what we’re reading, go to TCF’s events page or follow Prairie Pathways on Instagram.
Winter reminds us that we can grow in stillness. It invites us to notice magic in the mundane and to recall the parts of us that lie buried, awaiting the right moment to awaken. In this session, participants are guided through a series of invitations to write W.I.L.D.—with wonder, intuition, love, and daring—and invite the winter landscape into our creative expression. We pause to visit with writers past and present, engage in guided writing prompts, and reflect on the places where inner and outer winter wildscapes meet.

In addition to guiding Writing W.I.L.D., forest therapy and rewilded yoga practices, I facilitate createshops. Past createshops have included making vision calendars, restoryation exercises (where we create new stories for and about ourselves), as well as custom events.
I also speak on many themes at the intersection of creativity, nature and living a life “lit up.”
Past clients have included corporate, nonprofit and educational institutions, as well as private sector groups and individuals.
