Our memories live on!
In this session hosted by Beverley Ward, we will be drawing on the worldwide traditions of honouring the dead, from All Souls Day to the Mexican Day of the Dead, as we write to celebrate those we've loved and lost.
And where better to do this than the beautiful Samuel Worth Chapel in Sheffield's General Cemetery?
This session, although inevitably touching on grief, will be an uplifting reflection about loved ones who are no longer with us on earth but live on in our hearts. Or, perhaps, you might choose to reflect on distant ancestors you've discovered in your family tree but never met.
Whether you're writing memoir, essays, fiction or poetry or just want a to safe space to put some words on the page, this space is for you.
