"Opening." A springtime adventure in writing poems with Katie Griffiths

The morning’s theme will be opening ourselves up to the new, coming out of a shell and reaching forward and outward, as this season of growth and renewal would teach us.

The emphasis is on curiosity and fun. We’ll play word games. We’ll use a variety of prompts to get fresh ideas flowing. In the delightful environment of The Healing Sanctuary near Shere, Surrey, we’ll create a safe and enjoyable space in which to capture new thoughts on a page and see what magic and mischief they can get up to if given free rein.

This is a workshop both for those who have experience in writing poems as well as for those who wish to experience the joy of discovering the surprises that will emerge when their pen meets paper.

Please bring a pen and notebook. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.

Katie Griffiths is the author of 'My Shrink is Pregnant' (Live Canon) and 'The Attitudes' (Nine Arches Press). She came second in 2018's National Poetry Competition.
