About this Event

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. We are all walking around with lots going on internally and sometimes the first step can be getting out of our head and on to the page!

With a pen and paper we are afforded endless space to unleash our imagination and creativity; writing is an act of defiance against the pace the world moves at.

This is an opportunity to come and be together, to slow down, and to turn our thoughts in to stories, reflections and poems.

During this session we will:

  • Learn and practice some writing disciplines
  • Do exercises that provoke creativity
  • Be encouraged to write in our preferred style!
  • Explore story telling
  • Experience the dignity of being agents of change

No previous writing experience required!

Course Eligibility: Please note this course is only for adults living within the following Exeter postcode areas: EX1, EX2, EX3, EX4.
