Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary – Creative Writing Workshop – Summer Series
This morning workshop offers an opportunity for those who love nature, writing, and creativity to come together and pursue all three in a small group setting (10-person maximum). Facilitated in the Amherst Writers & Artists method, this workshop is designed to nurture the inherent creative abilities of every participant. Are you curious about writing in nature or about nature? Do you regularly journal or keep a blog? Do you write professionally? Has it been years since picking up a pen? Do you want to create a writing practice for yourself?
With nature as our inspiration and subject, we’ll write to at least three prompts with an opportunity to share with the group. This is not a critique workshop. When words are brand new on the page we do not edit or perfect. We respond with what resonated in a strong way and what we remember. We’ll discuss the AWA philosophy and practices at the beginning of each workshop, and encourage participants to learn more here: Philosophy and Practices ⋆ Amherst Writers & Artists
What to bring:

Notebook and pen, journal and colored pencils, laptop — your choice!
Optional: A sack lunch to enjoy following the workshop, as well as comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent to explore the trails at Owl’s Hill.

Please plan to arrive by 9:15 am to park, get settled in our space, and prepare to begin the workshop on time.
$45 per workshop or $120 for the 3-class series (each workshop can be taken independently).

Pilgrimage freely mixes genres and musical styles to create an intentionally diverse music experience throughout the day so you can see all of your favorites and discover new ones.
Pilgrimage has always presented itself as family friendly which means kids are welcomed and encouraged to experience festival culture at young age. Specifically, at the Lil’ Pilgrims Area with Grammy award winning producer, Ralph Covert, kids experience numerous activities, renowned artists, and are presented musical talent at a high level that has underscored a commitment to the “all ages” experience.

Over the past years, the Pilgrimage Foundation has given to Friends of Franklin Parks, MusiCares musicians in need, Dark Horse Institute as a scholarship to the local music engineering school, the American Red Cross, the City of Franklin, and other scholarship and mentoring programs.
Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival is Saturday and Sunday, September 23-24, 2023, at the Park at Harlinsdale Farm in beautiful Franklin, Tennessee.

Host Tracy Frist, sponsors the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County and Nashville Public Television, and The Better Angels Society, invite you to the historic Franklin Theatre for an early preview.
THE AMERICAN BUFFALO is the biography of an improbable, shaggy beast that has found itself at the center of many of the country’s most mythic and heartbreaking tales. The series, which has been in production for four years, will take viewers on a journey through more than 10,000 years of North American history and across some of the continent’s most iconic landscapes, tracing the mammal’s evolution, its significance to the Great Plains and, most importantly, its relationship to the Indigenous People of North America.
Excerpts of the film will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Senator Bill Frist, global chair of The Nature Conservancy, featuring Dayton Duncan, writer of THE AMERICAN BUFFALO, and Dr. Dwayne Estes, executive director of the Southeastern Grasslands Institute. In addition, the event will feature Pulitzer Prize winning author and historian Jon Meacham.
The Franklin community will be among the first in the country to receive a preview of the highly anticipated film weeks before it airs nationally on PBS and be one of the few locations to host the film’s writer Duncan (COUNTRY MUSIC, THE DUST BOWL, THE NATIONAL PARKS, LEWIS & CLARK) in person.

with Ashley Briggs

Ashley Briggs will demonstrate ways to make a home safe for someone suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementias. If safety measures are in place, an individual living with Alzheimer’s can remain in the comfort of his or her own home or a caregiver’s residence. As the disease progresses, the person’s abilities will change. Ashley will show how, with some creativity and flexibility, the home can be adapted to support these changes.

She has a passion for developing programming to meet the needs of residents in assisted living settings, educating the community, and helping reduce the stigma around the disease.
