Led by Helen Overell via Zoom

The theme 'This held moment' will be explored through considering times of encounter where love embraces the all of another, sees into the heart. We will read contemplative writing from earlier times to the present day. There will be writing exercises, both individual and collaborative, providing an encouraging and supportive creative space in which words can be set down on the page. There will be opportunities to share what is written. The emphasis will be on constructive feedback so as to allow the beginnings of poems to emerge.

Starts at 10am and ends at 4pm. 

Cost: £30
