FOR WRITERS, AND WOULD-BE WRITERS
Are you writing (or thinking of writing) a novel, a script, poetry, non-fiction or a memoir? Escape to the sun for a Writing Retreat and be inspired to write in the beautiful setting of the Centre Quaker in Congenies
English Language Program
If you wish, bring something you are already working on: give yourself the time and space to linger over it and let it develop. A perfect opportunity to work, in peaceful surroundings, on a second or third draft. Or come with an open mind and see where the week takes you.
Each day there will be a different stimulus for your writing which you can either engage with, or choose to do your own thing. After writing in the morning you may wish to borrow a bicycle and enjoy an afternoon ride through medieval villages, or go for a walk on your own or with others on the retreat. Or rest, sleep, read – or write.
There will be opportunities to read your work to the rest of the group. There will also be guidance to help you read ‘in public’.
Facilitator: Kim Hope: writer and educator will use her extensive experience in participatory and theatre-based training to offer warmups, drama, and improvisation games and coaching to help bring alive your work and encourage your written voice to appear on the page.
