The Trees of Our Lives

Online Open to all levels
Open to all levels 7 Sessions
7 Sessions Trees inform every inch and cranny of human endeavor: myths, architecture, poetry, iconographies, engineering, explorations of all kinds. Herman Hesse notably wrote, "Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth." In this class, we will engage with a variety of texts (letters, essays, mostly poetry) to examine our relationships to our arboreal neighbor: how they inspire, heal, protect, anchor, and orient us—and what we in turn offer them. This is a generative class. No previous writing experience necessary.
