Move from 'How do I find the words', to feeling the satisfaction of engaging in a creative process as emotions become words on the paper in front of you. Inspired by what is under your feet, what you can hear, see & feel as you move around the fells, with Julie Carter, Mindfell.
"…for going out, I found, is really going in." John Muir
