Listen "2.12b 'Writing with the Storks' Meditation and Writing Prompt for My Conversation with Lucy Groves"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to this meditation and writing prompt inspired by my conversation with Lucy Groves of the White Stork Project.
This prompt is a little different to what we usually do. I’ll be talking you through the prompt and then we’ll have the pleasure of listening to a White Stork greeting ceremony for a few of minutes to help get your centred and inspired to create a piece of work based on whatever comes up for you as a result.
I’d also recommend opening the white stork project website and look at the migration map on their ‘news’ page. The link is in the show notes for ease but you can find it at www.whitestorkproject.org/news and it’s the entry for 13th October 2020.
As I mentioned, this prompt is all about the storks that Lucy spoke about and her work with them. Here are some ideas if you listening to the soundscape and struggle with getting started:
An ‘ode to the Storks’
A piece entitled ‘Flying with the Storks’
Research wildlife species that are native to your region or country and the initiatives working with these species and write something inspired by your findings
Based on this research, why not envision a world in which these species live in abundance alongside humans? What would this world be like? How would it differ from our own?
Listen to the soundscape and free write along with it
These are just a few ideas, just see where the prompt and the ideas brought up in the episode take you. As always, don’t judge your creativity before you’re started and enjoy the process!
I’m going to play the soundscape for three minutes and then it’ll fade out for you to either listen to again to start creating!
Happy writing!
