Writing Wild was established by Alyssa Delle Palme in 2022 to inspire students of all ages in the art of creative writing in a forest school setting. The course combines diverse teaching methods including discussions, lectures, and hands-on application of techniques.
Students also engage in a variety of activities designed to spark creativity, such as free play, hiking, games, nature art, forest bathing, cooking over a campfire, and sit spots.
Additionally, participants have the opportunity to share their stories around a campfire, creating a warm and supportive community atmosphere.
Coming soon: Writing Wild programs for teens and adults!
Before opening Wild Roots in 2016, Alyssa Delle Palme worked as a journalist. Her news, sports and entertainment stories have been heard over the airwaves in Ottawa (CIDG), Moncton, New Brunswick (CFQM) and Smithers, British Columbia (CFBV). She was a regular contributor to Ottawa Family Living Magazine for six years. She has also been published in the Ottawa Citizen, and Fifty-Five Plus Magazine.
