This event's purposes include appreciating the beauty of our natural area; observing the many plants, insects, sounds, and smells; and with the helpful introductions from our leader allowing nature to inspire the written word.
Our leader, Mobi Warren, is a highly-regarded local poet, teacher, and puppeteer. She has lead innumerable poetry events combining a deep love for nature and poetic expression. This will be a unique experience in nature with a poet. Mobi's comments inspire participants to see and connect with nature in new and unexpected ways, from the tiniest detail to the whole interconnected web of the natural world.
You will be invited to express your observations in words and poem fragments and after each prompt on the walk there will be time to share writings from willing participants. Mobi also will read a few of her and other poets' works.
CHIGGER ALERT: Because you will be stepping off the trail you must wear long pants & long-sleeved shirts and use ample repellent.
Be sure to bring pad of paper and pens to jot down thoughts, observations, and words that come to mind.
This talk is part of our monthly 4th Saturday Nature Walk series provided by our Alamo Area Master Naturalists and the Alamo Group of the Sierra Club, with the Native Plant Society of Texas, San Antonio.
