POSTPONED: Writing through metamorphosis to aid our understanding of change, with Alison Clayburn

(The original source of the Monarch butterfly image is the Bear Springs Blossom website here)

At short notice, we've had to postpone this event.  However, we hope to offer it later, so do watch this space.

Please join us for another stimulating session about ways of giving rein to our imagination through writing.  Our gatherings are characterised by invention, openness and sharing.

Metamorphosis and change

Change, both inner and outer, is always with us, and it can be helpful to recruit the imagination to aid our understanding of how it is happening. For this, metamorphosis is a useful concept.  This workshop will use the traditional metamorphosis metaphor of caterpillar - chrysalis - butterfly to explore how it feels to be in different stages of the metamorphosis process, through  writing - and drawing - our way in. We will reflect on how all this applies to transitions in both our personal and professional lives.

Afterwards, if you can linger, you can continue our conversations just across the road at The Ship pub.

Please let me know by 15 October (earlier if possible) if you're planning to come on 17 October.  It would also be a great help if you could indicate your intentions in the RSVP panel on the right hand side of this Events web page.
