Upcoming Event: Writing with Nature, Nov 19th
Join TreeSisters and author, poet and scriptwriter Rachel Bentham for a free, creative writing workshop inspired by trees and the natural world.
Through poetry, shared readings and gentle writing prompts, we’ll explore how to capture a moment in Nature, reflect on our relationship with trees, or follow wherever our writing takes us. No previous writing experience is needed, and there’s no pressure to share your work.
Together, we’ll also have the chance to create a communal poem, bringing individual lines from participants together into a shared piece of writing celebrating our connections with Nature.
When: November 19th 2026, 1pm GMT, 8am EST
This event is free to attend; however, if you would like to make a donation to TreeSisters, your support is greatly appreciated.
