The first part of the session would be an interactive workshop/tuition session covering such things as plot development, character assassination and wri …

Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses. Pubs, cafes and parks are nice but wouldn't it also be good to be part of a group of writers? So let's work quietly together, gently encouraging each other to soldier on, and minding each others things when we have to go to the loo... THE IDEA Is simple. We are a group of serious writers that meet somewhere comfortable and write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. Each person works on th …

It does not matter if you already chose a genre or you wish to throw them all into a bowl, this is a place where you will continuously discover, experiment and get inspired without battle. This is a ticket into the world of unconscious, of unimaginable imagination and out-of-borders inspiration. If you wish to write, this is your first stop.

Any woman who is up for a self-discovery journey through embodiment and art.
