In this workshop, we will activate Blake’s use of the Gothic arch as a symbol of stepping from one realm into another, to embrace rejuvenation and personal truth. In guided meditations designed to support you to write from your intuition, you will be enabled to take a journey led by your own poetic imagination.
Your inner poetic guide will lead the way, as Virgil did for Dante, and you will have the opportunity to create your vision on the page. There will be an option, if you wish, to share your writing, and Sarah will offer approaches to sustain your writing after the workshop.
This workshop is facilitated by Dr Sarah Walton, who developed the Soul Writing Method after a brain injury, to help her write fiction again. Sarah is a novelist and writing coach with a PhD in Creative Writing, and has taught an MA in Creative Writing. She is the Founder of Soul Writing Coaching.
No prior experience of meditation, or creative writing, is required.
Please have pen and paper within reach and find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for the duration of the workshop.
