The day will focus on transforming personal experience into poetry, and will include many examples of the inspiring words of others. We'll use 'found verse' as a gateway into learning techniques and exploring block and flow in writing. All skills are transferable into other genres of writing.

Bring your own drinks, snacks and lunch. Some parts of the day will take place outdoors, so come with cold-proof, waterproof clothing. Also bring writing materials – laptops are welcome but please also bring hand writing materials.

No previous familiarity (or confidence) with words is required! The day is suitable for your own creative/therapeutic exploration as well as for therapists/teachers wishing to develop skills for client, student and patients groups.

If you need accomodation for the night(s) before or after the workshop, let us know, and we can arrange that for you. And if you’d like any individual tuition while you’re here, Bridget would be happy to talk about that.
