Writing
If Witch is who I am & priestess is what I do, then writing is the essence of me. I am a writing workshop facilitator who uses creative writing as a process to enable participants to gain a greater understanding of certain aspects of themselves.
Most artistic disciplines can be utilised as a devise for understanding ourselves a little better. Writing is no exception. It is a process & writing about ourselves can prove useful in our search for more personal clarity.
Our emotional, spirtual & motivational selves may all be accessed through writing. It is a highly effective tool for releasing anger, pulling threads together; gathering scattered feelings & rationalising reactions to situations & events. We may end up burning what we have written & sometimes this is the best thing to do with angry thoughtless or painful words) but it is always the process that matters & which may bring us to a place where we can find some resolution.
The aim of my workshops is to explore the territory of personal language & creativity; to develop an understanding of certain aspects of the personality.
The singers are fond of telling us, everyone can sing. All we have to do is find our voice. The painters will tell us to pick up a brush & just have a go. Writing is no exception, so even if you aren't a writer by nature or inclination, don't worry. Simply pick up a pen & follow your instincts.
My workshops are unsuitable for distance learning since they involve in-the-moment interaction between facilitator & student. I can therefore, only offer them locally.

'Fiction is like
a spider's web, attached everso slightly perhaps,
but still attached
to life at all
four corners.
Often the
attachment is scarcely
perceptible.'
Virginia Woolf
