Students will receive guidance from the instructor, who will also rotate among the various field settings, on field days, to observe the sessions and offer constructive feedback to the student leaders. After six weeks of leading the community workshops, students will spend the final two weeks compiling one anthology, consisting of writing products from all the different groups. The course will end with a community presentation, when members of the various groups will read aloud from their collected work. Students will be evaluated on four elements: class participation; the teaching of writing; service to the community; and a final paper synthesizing the effect of community service on their learning, their own writing and on themselves as members of this community.

We will address areas of study relevant to women and nature, including women's rites of passage, personal empowerment, the creative arts, ceremony, recreation, and potential cycles of women's psychological and spiritual development. Our approach will be holistic, integrating the mind, body, and spirit. We will complete the course by focusing on the integration of our studies and experiences into our personal lives and the world at large.
