Creative Writing with David Skyle

Creative writing workshop in Penrith!

In this workshop we will look at writing exercises that help open and nourish your creativity. These are from Natalie Goldberg’s famous system, taught together with sitting meditation to help you both relax and go deeper in your writing. This course has 12 places only.

We will learn practical writing exercises developed by Natalie Goldberg, one of the most famous creative writing teachers in the world.

Daniel Skyle, who will be teaching this course, has used them himself all his
life, and they have formed a strong foundation for his work as author, published poet and journalist. He has a BA in Journalism and an MA in
Creative Writing.

The exercises are practical ways to help you see more of your creativity, open
it and nourish it – whether you want to use your creativity for your life, for
your writing, painting, or self-development, Natalie Goldberg’s system grew out of  lifelong training in Zen meditation.

Daniel Skyle has also practiced meditation his entire life, including training in
China, and he will teach the basics of sitting meditation. You do not need any
previous meditation experience to learn this or to do the course

Sitting meditation will be done on chairs – but if you have previous experience
and have a meditation pillow, it’s fine to bring this.

You need to bring a pen and a notebook. Daniel will also give you some
selected text examples and pieces of writing advice, both from his own work
and that of other writers.

Price for the session is £35. To book your place on this exciting course contact Nicola via text or e-mail today.
