Join us in using creative writing to explore our relationships to local rivers at this time of ecological crisis. Participants will be invited to focus on a river of their choice and to spend time with their river in between sessions. Using playful prompts, we will weave our riverly discoveries into our words, writing to and from the perspective of our chosen rivers.

We will meet weekly on zoom, between 6 and 8 pm, on the following evenings:

  • Monday 8th June
  • Monday 15th June
  • Monday 22nd June
  • Monday 29th June

All writing levels are very welcome. There will be opportunities to share your work in the group but there is no obligation to do so. The emphasis in these workshops is not to perfect our writing practice but to use writing as a tool for expression and curiosity.

Places are limited to 8 participants. To ensure group cohesion, please be clear you are able to make all 4 session dates before purchasing a ticket.

Tickets are offered on a donation basis at a suggested value of £30 in total for all sessions. All donations will go directly to the Totnes Climate Hub.

If you have any questions please email Tamzin at hello@apple-barn.com
