In this all day creative writing workshop, we will use our chosen set of values to devise a creation myth to inform the politics and religion of a brave new world. There will be gods, monsters and world building inspired by global tales as we go back to The Beginning.
Tanya Akrofi is a writer, oral storyteller and counsellor from Lincoln. She writes for children and adults alike, blending mythology and folklore with modern challenges to creative empowering narratives.
For the safety of our instructor, if you have Covid symptoms please take a Covid test prior to the workshop. If you feel unwell and cannot attend the workshop due to Covid, please let us know and we will refund you the price of your ticket.

This session will run from 10.30 - 15.30. This will include a lunch break for which you are invited to bring a packed lunch to eat together as a group. You are welcome to take breaks as your require them.
In this workshop you will be using paper and pens. Be ready to use your imagination!
You will make a collective world map. You can take elements of it home with you.
This session is Intermediate level. Some experience of working with others is important, if not at least a willingness to be part of a group activity.
This may be challenging if you have difficulty with visualising or using your imagination. People will be talking out loud so it may be noisy, to help you with this we have noise cancelling head phones and fidget toys available.
