A 5-week Autumn course for poets, literary fiction writers and literary non-fiction writers, interested in bringing ecology, hydrofeminism and other more-than-human knowledges into their work — both in content and via technique.

The course includes how ecological thinking can inform writing through form (such as tuning into more-than-human communication to inform tone and structure); sensation (including open listening/ intuitive practices in natural spaces); forays into how psychogeographic walking practices through natural landscapes can help expand your writing with resonances of experiences beyond your own skin and present time; in-depth reading and research on ecofeminism and hydrofeminism; as well as juicy ecosexuality explorations.
This course is not just about enriching descriptions of nature in your writing — it’s an invitation to become entangled with the decay and vitality of the more-than-human creative experience.
Siouxzi Connor is an Australian-born writer and experimental filmmaker, based in Berlin.
Her new book, ‘Your Body of Water’, was published by Repeater Books in June 2025 and launched at Hopscotch Books Berlin and San Serriffe Amsterdam with an accompanying scent installation.
Siouxzi’s other work includes creative non-fiction writing, moving-image and installation art, photography, and performance, and has been exhibited in Sydney, London, New York, and throughout Europe. Her work explores ecology and sexuality, hydrofeminisms, and how the story-making process could be used to advocate for more-than-human nature.
Siouxzi’s first book was published by Repeater Books in 2017, titled ‘Little Houses, Big Forests (desire is no light thing)’, and was launched with an accompanying film and artworks, titled ‘In the dark, dark room’. She is also a former research fellow of the ICI, and the co-founder of feminist organisation the WØMB, which gathered inspiring speakers to empower the creative careers of feminists of all genders.
