SUMMARY:The Art of Conscious Travel Writing: Discovering Meaning in Our Outer and Inner Worlds, led by Shivya Nath (Registration Closed)
DESCRIPTION:In the age of Instagram trends and overtourism, this workshop gently draws us back to the essence of travel writing – a deeply transformational experience that can allow us to make sense of the journeys we take across the world and within. Away from the pressures of social media and the digital world, we’ll explore how slowness and mindful interactions can change the way we travel and write.\nThis workshop will take place over 4 days – and give us time to explore and nurture both, the traveller and writer within us. Sessions will include intention-setting, discussions, group writing, and collective reading. We’ll spend an afternoon or two outdoors, experiencing the joy of discovery and writing in the quiet of nature. The workshop will focus on getting in touch with our own unique voice, and include a session on the practicalities of publishing travel writing (pitching, publishing and the editorial process).\nThe workshop will begin at 10 am on 28th February, and end by noon on 2nd March. Participants are requested to leave behind their digital devices, and embrace the joy of writing in a notebook during the workshop. Conscious plant-based eating, digital minimalism and time for self-reflection are encouraged during these four days. No prior experience in writing is required.\nTentative Schedule\nDay 1\nMorning: 10 am to 12 noon with a short break\nAfternoon: Prompt for self-exploration\nDay 2\nMorning: 10 am to 12 noon with a short break\nAfternoon: Outdoor writing session\nDay 3\nOutdoor writing session with hike and picnic lunch (depending on the ability and interest of the group): 11 am to 3 pm\nDay 4\nMorning: 10 am – 12 noon with a short break\nRegistration\nInspired and in line with Deer Park’s philosophy, this retreat is offered free of charge.

She is the author of The Shooting Star, a bestselling travel memoir published by Penguin in 2018. Her work has been published in BBC Travel, National Geographic Traveller, The Washington Post and other publications.
