The Walden Project was awash with visitors over the last month or so, culminating with a visit from Michael Fredrick Executive Director of The International Thoreau Society and students and faculty from The Walden Project NY based out of the Cimmings Nature Center in Rochester, New York. Gathering in the Walden outdoor classroom from November 6-8, students delved deeply into Transcendentalism, creative writing, and the increasing and continued relevance of place-based education. The visit concluded with an evening of pizza and poetry by the fire, where Walden Project students Oak Fonte, Ella Vinek-Payne, Lily Root, and Elsa Michaels shared original artistic stylings with the 50 people who braved the elements to celebrate this special creative community.
