Write & Thrive, workshops – from September 2016

Write & Thrive September 2016

From September 2016, Write and Thrive will be offering two five week writing modules at:

The Exchange Workspace Croydon, CR0 1UH, (next door to Matthews Yard).

Advance booking is required.

The modules are designed to enable participants to build on learning from each workshop and develop from week to week.

Each module is self-contained. However, participating in both may provide additional benefit as one topic overlaps and enhances the other.

Modules are open to all, no prior experience is required.

Module 1 – Stories of your life: writing for personal development, self-discovery & well being

Starts on Tuesday, 27th September 2016. 7-9 p.m. for 5 weeks

An introduction to the many health and well being benefits of writing. This module is an opportunity to reflect on, make sense of, remember and celebrate aspects of your life and to explore some of the support and well being benefits that writing can offer. The workshops will provide you with the opportunity to develop a richer self-awareness, and experience writing as a flexible tool that can support you through life’s ups and downs.

Cost: £50 per 5 week module (£40 for Matthews Yard members)

Module 2 – Writing fiction: get started, keep going

Starts on Tuesday, 8th November 2016. 7-9 p.m. for 5 weeks

This module is designed to enable participants to start or return to writing fiction, helping to overcome barriers and develop a regular writing routine. The workshops are planned to encourage curiosity, experimentation and creative expression; helping participants to ignore the inner critic and unleash their creativity.

By the end of the module participants will have practiced techniques to generate ideas and material for writing fiction and have learned ways to establish a regular writing routine.

Cost: £50 per 5 week module (£40 for Matthews Yard members)
