About the event
This is a small, immersive conference designed for writers who want to slow down, pay attention, and write from the land. Join Tabassam for time in nature on the grounds of the Jennings Environmental Education Center where the sights and sounds of the prairie and the woods fuel inspiration for your writing. Plein air writing uses nature as a writing prompt and encourages writers to observe and react while being out of doors or out on the trail. Attendees will draft a poem or any other genre of writing as a reflective piece. Register here: https://wcona.com/events/5ZL5JYaH5XpDt5LuG
