Poetry Writing Workshop

Join us for a gentle and uplifting October themed creative writing and poetry workshop. With select readings and prompts to celebrate Autumn through nature connections and fun creative conversation and activities. We will be exploring Autumn images, memories and sounds, and ways to express ourselves through haiku, short poems, fragments and poem postcards of wishes. This workshop is for everyone wanting to start writing poems or return to writing. It is a participatory workshop so we will share our ideas and new lines in a supportive and friendly space.

90 mins/ all levels and abilities/ pen and paper provided plus refreshments

Please feel free to stay on afterward to chat as a group.

I am for writing and activism that serves with humility and beauty, crafted for the purpose of sharing, healing, teaching and tendering fierce boundless kindness and love to the earth, community and self. I am for creative process as an essential means of communication and expression in the deep “heart-work” (Rilke*) that connects us to what really matters, especially now. ~ Sarah Acton

Please note this workshop will take place upstairs with regrettably no wheelchair access.
