Inspiration Through Nature
Wild Lines are guided hikes around the Reno/Tahoe area that aim to get the creative juices flowing from movement on some of the area's best trails while tapping into unfiltered writing and creating by placing ourselves into the sanctuary of nature.
How Does It Work?
Hikes change location and theme every month. We offer both easy and moderate excursions and are happy to modify for anyone. Generally, expect to walk anywhere from 1 to 3 miles.
During the event, we will alternate between hiking and writing. Depending on the trail and length of event, there should be two periods for each ranging from 20-45 minutes a piece.
Come prepared to chat craft, work on new or existing stories, and (hopefully!) learn a little something about writing or the environment to take back to the drawing board.
Thank you so much for creating this event! In just a short amount of time, I was able to find a new trail that I had never discovered - got to be creative in ways I haven't been in a very long time - and! made some new friends that are very like minded. What a great way to build community :)
