About

Five-Senses Nature Writing With Wild Basin's Artist in Residence, Sarah Cypher

This writing and sensory workshop is designed for adults (18+) who find joy and expression in writing or just like to get outdoors and try something new.

Reconnect with nature in this immersive writing workshop set in an urban wildlife preserve. Experience the environment through all five senses—listen to the sounds, feel the textures, and observe the details of the natural world. Whether you're a poet, prose writer, or just love language, this workshop offers the opportunity to deepen your creative practice. Together, we'll explore examples of nature writing, engage with Wild Basin’s surroundings using sketching and observation, and allow the landscape to inspire fresh perspectives on details we might otherwise miss.

This workshop is for adults (18+) at any level of writing or art-making experience.

Bring your phone to take pictures, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Part of this event may be outside using the Wild Basin trail system so sun protection is encouraged.

In the case of extreme heat or rain, we will relocate to the Creative Research Center's porch and indoor facilities.

No experience or training necessary.

All supplies are provided.

This workshop and the artist in residence program is supported with a grant from the Applied Material Foundation.
