Come join Dr. Mattie Decker for her special offering of “Spring Equinox Writing in Nature.” Writing in Nature includes an experience of Shinrin Yoku, known as “Forest Bathing” with Mattie Decker, ANFT certified guide and mindfulness teacher. We gather in a circle, with mindfulness meditation before embarking into the forest to “find our spot”, our tree, or place we are drawn to sit and write. Afterward there are refreshments shared, as we tell about our experiences, often reading what we’ve written. Participants are also encouraged to bring writing they are working on, or journals to continue projects they are midst. There are always surprises, and amazement in how the medicine of the forest provides us what is uniquely needed for each of us. For new writers, or those who are writers, this experience offers a dimension of awakening to the deep relationship we each have in Nature.

**Participants will meet up at the back parking lot of the Lake Lure Inn in Lake Lure and will caravan together to the event location on a privately conserved property adjoining Chimney Rock State Park. More details will be available in the welcome email once registered.

All are welcome here.
