How can we move beyond simply describing nature and instead write with the wild? Wild Tongues invites you to explore poetry as a conversation between human and more-than-human voices. Through deep listening, sensory awareness, and guided writing exercises, we’ll tune into the rhythms, textures, and languages of the land, discovering new ways to co-create with the natural world.
This is a space for curiosity and experimentation, where you’re encouraged to play with language, explore new perspectives, and let the untamed voices of the earth shape your words.
