Creatives often use the wilderness and nature as a means of inspiration and tools for storytelling and creation, and it’s important for us to deepen our understanding of that which fuels so much of our work.
creatives, sometimes we interpret or remember it all as just “green”. In her talk on Wilderness, Caite Mae Ramos gives us structures to help us deepen our understanding of nature so that we can see each part as the unique, special thing it is as well as acknowledge the imbalances that we have introduced as humans.
