Poetry Writing Workshop for Adults

Write with me!

This poetry writing workshop for adults is for everyone from experienced poets to complete beginners.

In fact, you don’t need to be a writer at all. The workshop is about mindfulness, being in nature and absorbing yourself in the surroundings of a beautiful woodland setting. With me as your guide, you’ll to collect your observations, thoughts, feelings and memories. We are all writers inside.

So why don’t you come and write some words with me in a beautiful outdoor setting near Sevenoaks, Kent? Little Elses is a hidden gem near the village of Weald in Kent, easy to access just off the A21. I chose this setting not only because of the private woodland space it provides, but also because I love the ethos of the custodians of this woodland.

I believe poetry comes from within and doesn’t have to follow a set pattern or scheme. At this workshop, we will be drawing on your experiences and emotions, both in general and on the day. And who doesn’t love spending time with the trees?

With me acting as your guide, this poetry writing workshop aims to be a mindful experience. It will be an exercise to awaken the senses and tune in to what is around us, making connections and evoking memories.

I will guide you through the process, and help with the writing, but you do not have to be a poet or an experienced writer to come along and give this a go.

This workshop is for everybody, and for anyone who would like to explore their connection with nature through words. I’m inviting you to come along, take off your shoes and feel the Earth beneath your feet, listen, look, smell and just be.

Please reach out if you would like to come but cost is an issue.
