‘I feel the need to do something really creative’

‘I’d love to write poetry or a song’

‘I’d love to understand poetry a bit better.’

…then this workshop will get your creative juices flowing.

Add a string to your bow, be a poet for a day. Apart from being a wholesome energy-giving creative retreat, this workshop allows you to the practice the art of choosing the right words to express your ideas.
