Join JLM Morton close to the Winter Solstice for a very special workshop at a time when the veil is thin, blurring the boundaries between human and more-than-human.
A seasonal check in with your writerly self, this winter solstice workshop is a moment to take stock as the sun stands still, to do away with what no longer serves you and call in that which you need to flourish. Through a combination of readings, interactive discussions, and reflective exercises, participants will seed new writing and have the opportunity to share work for feedback with others in the group.
Beginners welcome - this workshop is open to writers working at any level and in any form.
