Join poet, horticulturalist and educator Lisa Collyer for an eco-poetry workshop that encourages healing in the face of climate grief.
Express your feelings about the loss of ecological habitat, eco-anxiety and climate change through poetry. Guided by author and Bundanon Artist in Residence Lisa Collyer, participants will engage with the Five Stages of Grief in a natural, outdoor setting. The workshop will be followed by a poetry reading.
Please bring your own notebook, paper, and pen. The Art Museum is closed 6 October – 21 November and will not be accessible on the day of this event.
