Haiku & Heat: creative writing workshop

Facilitated by local artist, Rosemary Grieve, Haiku & Heat is the first-of-its-kind event we're hosting at Secret Sauna.

Join Rosemary on Thursday 27th August for a nourishing afternoon in our woodland retreat. The workshop will combine the meditative art of haiku-writing with the relaxing heat of a communal sauna. Set amongst our secluded wild sauna and fire-pit overlooking the River Waveney, we invite you to let the sounds and sights of nature inspire you.

What to expect...

We'll begin with a short four-senses meditation to connect with the sights, sounds and rhythms of nature around us.

Through simple creative exercises, we'll then explore haiku; the Japanese art of capturing a fleeting moment in just a few words.

After homemade biscuits and tea, we warmly invite you to enjoy the sauna and maybe even have a dip in the river to cool off.

The details...

• Thursday 27 August, from 3 - 6.30pm: The meditation and writing workshop will take around 2 hours, including a tea and refreshment break. We'll end with a 90 minute sauna session.
• £50 per person, maximum 8 people
• Anyone welcome (over 16 years only)
• No previous experience of haiku or creative writing needed, just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to pause in nature to open your mind.
