Anything is possible with your pen You do not need to be a writer in order to benefit from the workshops and the emphasis is not on publication. On the other hand, experienced writers of both poetry and prose have found that the course brings a deeper dimension and a greater vitality to their writing. “My expectations have been surpassed” “There was a huge freeing up of the mind, expansion to my writing, and I found I have a more positive approach to life, generally.” If you live in Cornwall, you can try a couple of taster workshops in March, and a new weekly course will begin in April. The course is being run as a residential course in Romania and West Cornwall. In Romania, the course is being run on 9 – 15 September. These courses are being in conjunction with the White Cross mission, which continues to help the young people rescued from Ceaucescu’s orphanages. These young people will serve in the guest house and make visitors welcome.
