This practical workshop by an experienced facilitator is for anyone interested in exploring childlessness through writing.
You will follow a series of guided writing exercises, all of which explore the contrasting experiences of silence and sound: how they are felt, described, measured and imagined. Each exercise builds on the last, introducing new techniques and approaches you can use in your own writing after the session if you wish. You don’t need any experience of writing, and you won’t have to read anything aloud unless you wish you.
Bring along a pen and paper if you can. Refreshments will be available.
