Writing Nature's Voices: Writing + Food + Drinks + A Free Book + a Pub Quiz!

[YOU MAY ALSO BOOK ON OUR WEBSITE HERE: https://www.writeandpint.com/events/writing-natures-voices-a-full-day-of-creative-writing-eating-drinking-a-free-book-a-pub-quiz-1] ... ## About the Event Hi there ✨ Whoever you are, you're warmly invited to join us for a full-day writing workshop ✍️ with food & drink 🍴☕🍷, a pub quiz 🧠, and plenty of space to step outside the human view and see what else has something to say 🌳🦊🌊 Nature writing has a long tradition in literature and poetry. But what happens when we step into the frame ourselves, not as observers writing about what we see, but as nature? If we write as the tree, the fox, the river? And as humans who are a part of the natural world, rather than separate from it? We'll be exploring a mixture of poetry and prose from writers including **Jason Allen-Paisant**, **Mary Oliver**, **Irene Solà**, **Richard Powers**, and **Robert Macfarlane**, discovering how different authors have given voice to nature through their writing, from animals to trees to even the weather, and how they've woven humans back into the natural world. You'll then have a chance to try it yourself, with prompts to help you write a variety of different pieces, from a diverse range of nature perspectives. What are we exploring? 🤔 * What does it feel like to write from inside a tree, a fox, a river, rather than looking at one? * Where is the line between human and nature, and what happens on the page when we blur it? * How have poets and novelists given voice to the non-human world, and what can we borrow from their methods? * What changes in us when we stop being observers and start being part of it? No dogma. No right answers. Just curiosity, close attention, and a willingness to see differently. 🌿 So, what's the plan? 🗓️ * Arrive at Finch's Pub (11am) for a warm welcome and a gentle warm-up writing session ✍️ * Settle into reading, conversation, and guided exploration of our featured writers 💬 * Break for food and drink 🍴 * Dive into an afternoon of deeper writing, trying out different nature perspectives 🍂 * Wind down with our end-of-day pub quiz! 🧠 This session will be hosted by writer, facilitator, and nature lover **Shimrit Janes**, co-author of *Nature of Work: A New Story of Work for a Living Age*. Whoever you are, however you write, you're welcome here. No experience necessary, just an openness to explore. Come along, bring a friend, and let's see what the trees, the foxes, and the rivers have to say. 🌳 See you there, Shimrit :)

SOLD OUT • 4TH THOUGHT EXPERIMENT WRITING WORKSHOP: cultivate curiosity :-)

This event is full. If you'd like to hear about the next one, please sign up to the **[WRITING WORKSHOP MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/thoughtexperimentwritingworkshop)** This workshop: a creative process to free your mind, and explore fresh perspectives. Over the past 3 and a half years, I've written over 300 thought experiments (tiny stories that raise big questions). [Here's a bit about why I enjoy the practice.](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/writing-thought-experiments) In brief, **writing thought experiments gives you the opportunity to:** * investigate ideas (old and new) * work your imagination * write creatively and playfully * produce compelling conversation starters that you can share with friends and strangers to provoke meaningful discussions **In this workshop,** I'll share my process and together we'll create new thought experiments by: * Identifying areas of interest * Gathering ingredients for thought experiments * Imagining scenarios * Constructing narratives * Generating relevant, thought provoking questions **By the end of the evening** **we'll have** * had some thought provoking conversations * become familiar with a new method for creative thinking * written our own original material for future group discussions :-) Although we’ll be learning a new technique we'll also be aiming to have **an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun**. This will be less like school and more like a fun TEiP night out with an additional creative twist. **Who should come:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to develop and communicate ideas. **Tickets** Space is limited (15-20 people) and tickets are £15. I'd like to make this event accessible, so if cost is a barrier, please send me a DM. **Where we'll meet:** The Fitzroy Tavern in Fitzrovia.

Queer Creatives @ Four Quarters Elephant Park

🎨🌈 **LGBTQ+ LONDON PRESENTS: QUEER CREATIVES🌈🎮** A new LGBTQ+ creative social in London Queer Creatives is a social night built around making things, playing creative games and meeting new people. This isn’t an art class, and you definitely don’t need to think of yourself as “creative” to join. The activities are simply there to make meeting people easier — create something, laugh about it, swap ideas and get chatting. Come on your own or bring friends. Jump between activities throughout the evening, spend ages making something, join a game, or just grab a drink and socialise. **✨ WHAT TO EXPECT** 🧱 **LEGO Icebreaker** — build something, get chatting and meet people 👕 **Jackbox T-Shirt TKO** — create ridiculous T-shirts and slogans together ✂️ **Arts & Crafts** — relaxed activities to make, customise and experiment with 🎮 **Creative Videogames** — games focused on imagination, design and creating 🎲 **Creative Games** — drawing, storytelling and visual boardgames 🎵 **Great music** throughout the evening 🤝 A **welcoming** LGBTQIA+ community 💜 **Free to attend** No artistic talent required. Make something brilliant. Make something questionable. Both are equally welcome. 😂 👋 **COMING FOR THE FIRST TIME?** Lots of people come to our events on their own, so arriving solo is completely normal. Grab a name tag when you arrive, and if you’d like help meeting people, just find one of the hosts. We’ll happily introduce you around or help you get started with an activity. **WHATSAPP LINK —** Will be added to the comments for you to join. 💜 **OUR COMMUNITY** The night is about creating alongside people, not competing with them. If you see someone on their own, invite them into your activity or simply say hello. Small gestures can completely change someone’s night. 🌈 **HELP KEEP LGBTQ+ LONDON GROWING** LGBTQ+ London is run entirely by volunteers. Our events are free to attend, but there are ongoing costs including Meetup fees, creative materials and event equipment. If you enjoy what we do and would like to support the community, donations are always appreciated. Every contribution helps us keep events free, welcoming and accessible.
