Rewilding your creativity: Write into Autumn

Join creative facilitator F. Zeeshan Choudhury for a series of writing workshops that take inspiration from the rewilded Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. Through a nature walk and guided writing exercises, we will reflect on what comes up as the growth of summer dies down and we adjust to colder weather and shorter days. How can we use the shifting of the seasons and the histories buried deep in the Cemetery Park  to think about our own lives and the lives of others? And what does nature have to teach us? 

Each session will have a different selection of themes, readings and activities.

Everyone is welcome. No experience required.                 

You will never have to read out your work unless you want to!

Writers will have a chance to have their work published in the next edition of Stone Stories, our bi-annual magazine.

A great way to get your creativity flowing this Autumn and connect with others creatively.
