Join JLM Morton close to the Winter Solstice for a very special workshop exploring thin places that lean into the trouble and slough off the borders between human and more-than-human.
Through a combination of readings, interactive discussions, and reflective exercises, participants will seed new writing and have the opportunity to share work for feedback with others in the group. This is a chance for a seasonal check in with your writerly self, a moment to take stock and the sun stands still, to do away with what no longer serves you and call in that which you need to flourish.
This workshop is open to writers working at any level and in any form.
Date
Tuesday 16th December 6.30pm - 8.30pm ONLINE via Zoom
