SUMMARY:Writing Retreat With Walking
DESCRIPTION:‘It is not down on any map; true places never are’ (Melville). An experiential week including idiosyncratic map-making\, literary walks and personal songlines. Each morning will be spent on guided walks exploring local landscapes of woods\, moors and rivers\, with a focus on mapping from different perspectives. The rest of the day will be for the creation\, through your own eyes and with your own words\, of the hidden places and secret worlds of landscapes outside us and within. We will also explore the politics of land and the vital importance of writing about – and for – the living world. Moral compass (and wellies) required. We welcome writers of all genres and levels of experience.

SUMMARY:Fiction Short Course
DESCRIPTION:It’s easy enough to start something\, but not always so easy to get to the end of that daunting first draft. It seems to be a common problem for writers\, from those starting out to those who are more experienced. How do you keep motivated and keep your ideas on track – especially when the demons of doubt and distraction come knocking? We will offer helpful advice and fun exercises to encourage you to keep going. We’ll also be honest about the graft involved in putting a novel together\, and give you different ways of approaching the challenging but rewarding act of writing on a daily basis.

SUMMARY:Short Course: Spoken Word
DESCRIPTION:This course is for spoken word artists and poets interested in mining their memories and family histories in order to make sense of the present. Participants will be encouraged to explore those intangible parts of our lives that live on in us through the use of objects\, photographs and other triggers\, to then celebrate and explore the tangential\, messy routes to those ideas that really matter. This will be an informal and open course\, exploring collaborative investigation and discussion to unearth gems that might lead to that piece that feels worthy of a time capsule.
