Wolf at the Door Creative Writing Weekend
Sat 15th Oct : 9:30 am - Sun 16th Oct : 4:30 pm
£30 – £90
A Buddhist-inspired Creative Writing Workshop
Imagination is essential in the spiritual life; it makes available and harmonises the different energies contained within us. Wolf at the Door offers a friendly and nurturing way of exploring all this through writing.
Everyone Welcome
If you have been to a workshop before, this weekend offers a space to reconnect and explore the art of your writing in supportive conditions. Newcomers are warmly welcome too, as you do not need any prior writing or meditation experience. You will be invited to share what you write, reading out to the group – you don’t have to, but it can be a very pleasurable and deepening experience.
