About this Event

This is a 1.5-hour guided writing workshop exploring ideas of nature through memory, objects, light, texture, and myth — rather than outdoor landscapes. Designed to be inclusive and weather-proof, the session invites participants to reflect on their surroundings through prompts focused on windows, sky, indoor plants, and everyday materials. The workshop balances structured writing time with optional sharing and listening, creating a calm and supportive environment suitable for beginners and experienced writers alike. Participants will leave with new written work and a take-home prompt to continue their practice beyond the session.


I want to highlight that the space is not full accessible, with there being a step from street level and bathroom is only accessible via steep stone steps.


Payment is to cover materials and refreshments.
