Myself and Maya Chowdhry led a visioning day on Morecambe Bay in February 2015, drawing on the expanse of sea, sky and fresh air to gain clarity and focus on your writing practice.
Using a one to one coaching session, a variety of creative tools (including writing time), and group discussions we aimed to activate the participants’ creative missions.
This was a pilot day and we received very positive feedback:
“Group size was great… very relaxed and, at the same time, challenging”
“This is the time you can’t find in your office, the thinking and dreaming time, the time to plant seeds and water them.”
“The culture of the entire day was conducive to trust and relaxation. I felt refreshed after it.”
“I feel able to make some very positive steps towards my goal.”
“The walking coaching was brilliant. I loved the combination of moving in physical space and talking about quite big, otherwise difficult to identify, things. It helped me get out of my head and into intuition.”
This workshop is suitable for writers with some writing experience as you will be discussing your current creative projects. Each day will involve a short walk and some physical movement.
We are planning future days around the coast. If you would like to be told of the next day when it is finalised or one specific to your area, please get in touch
