Online | Sunday September 7th, 2-4 pm MST

Join Susan J. Tweit for a workshop that will give you tools to unblock your creativity and find your voice again. Together, we’ll move beyond paralysis, clear our minds and throats, and strengthen the words of heart and spirit. You’ll learn how to practice terraphilia, humans’ innate connection to and affiliation for this earth and all the beings we share the planet with. That healing connection and grounding will fire your creativity and your power to contribute to the ocean of light and love in this world. You’ll leave the workshop renewed, taking with you daily practices to draw on to speak your truth and create with passion and purpose!

“Let this darkness be a bell tower 

and you the bell.

As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength.”  

—Rainier Maria Rilke, from “Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower,” translated by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows

Bio:  A plant ecologist who studied grizzly bear habitat, big sagebrush and  wildfire history before choosing to write the stories behind the data, Susan Tweit grew up in a family culture of nature. Plants have been her  “people” since childhood. Her cell-deep terraphilia carried her through  the diagnosis with a potentially fatal illness in her 20s, and the  deaths of two of the people she loved most in the same year. Tweit has  written thirteen books on the nature of life and our place in it, along  with hundreds of magazine articles, newspaper columns, radio scripts and  essays. Her newest book, Bless the Birds: Living With Love in a Time of  Dying, won the Sarton Award for memoir and was a finalist for the  Colorado Book Awards. Tweit has taught workshops at colleges and  universities from UCLA in southern California to Miami of Ohio. Her work  is driven by a passion for healing and re-storying this numinous earth  and the lives who weave the planet’s living skin. She lives in a little  brick Victorian house in a fruit-growing valley scented by big sagebrush in western Colorado.
