This course introduces you to different aspects of creative writing: character, setting, dialogue, genre, point-of-view, poetry and more – fun and playful exercises to encourage the inner writer to fly. We’ll work inside the classroom and outside in nature. We’ll write, review, read out, share, listen and watch. Each week we'll try something new, something a little bit different: strong verbs, fanciful conversations, unexpected delights.

Writing does not begin on the page - it begins in the heart, palms, eyes, ears, nose, toes, belly, and in the hairs at the back of your neck. It is an intimate, lovely, and often surprising way of being and breathing in the world. This workshop is an exploratory celebration of the dance between your writing and your life. In the warmth of a group, we will tap into our senses, our natural sense of curiosity and play, and explore the unknown wilds of both our memories and imaginations.
