Writing Where Your Own Nature Would be Leading (as Emily Bronte wrote…)

Radio 4 regular and author of On Sycamore Gap Kate Fox will lead a creative writing/poetry workshop suitable for all levels of writer, from absolute beginner to experienced, focusing on wellbeing. We’ll look at what we need to flourish and thrive – and how that might be reflected in the natural world. There will be a mixture of fun, practical exercises and prompts. 

This workshop will draw on Kate’s current interest in the links between neurodiversity and biodiversity.
