Writing in Contact with Nature (2nd Edition)

“Personally, the desire to write together with others is a way of giving back what I have received, repeating the widening sense of surprise tied to a discovery: poetry belongs to everyone.”
Silvia Vecchini, “There’s a Poetry Waiting for You: Thoughts and Practices for Writing Together”, Topipittori, 2025

Writing by following the wind, learning to let go like leaves do, tracing a path with pebbles, listening to the voice of trees, and reflecting in the natural elements.

Drawing on reflections and experiences shared in the essay “There’s a Poetry Waiting for You: Thoughts and Practices for Writing Together”, the workshop will propose some writing prompts to experiment with together and others that will be illustrated and discussed so participants can take them back and adapt them to their own contexts.

Comfortable clothing is recommended, as a short walk in nature is planned, starting from Rugolo.
