These workshops will be dynamic and engaging; the first covers the elements of writing and questions why we write, followed by a workshop in trusting self in creating and editing. Be prepared to share, learn and drift from your comfort zone as the workshops will not just focus on the aesthetics of writing but also the act of writing and it’s physiological effects upon you.”
