Roselle

'Writing the Land' with Roselle Angwin

 

Cost: £595 (reduced from £690)

Dates: Sat 1 - Sat 8 September 2012

Language: English

This retreat will focus on developing our writing at the same time as deepening our sense of relationship to the natural world. We will bring together the essential elements of land, gentle walking, shared discussion and also silence, and of course writing as well as reading.
 
Along with time outdoors, we’ll be looking at and discussing a range of ‘nature writers’ of both prose and poetry. We’ll explore new ways of expressing our own relationship to the world. Using some of the tools of mindfulness we’ll explore the art of paying deep attention with our hearts, senses and imagination, through time spent together and alone, with writing exercises and other starting points, with discussion and readings.
 
Expect a deepening of your sense of connectedness, a great deal of sometimes  surprising writing (prose & poetry), a slowing down, a lot of laughter, and  an opening of your imagination and your heart.

Tutor

UK poet, author and painter Roselle Angwin leads the Fire in the Head creative and reflective writing program. She's passionate about wild places and the natural world, as well as the meeting points between inner and outer geographies: relationship, connection, land. She has been described as 'a poet of the bright moment... whose own sources of creative inspiration are her native Westcountry, the Scottish islands, and a highly individual blend of Celtic myth and metaphysics, psychology, shamanic and Buddhist thinking'. As an eco-poet, she leads Ground of Being work on Dartmoor, the Isle of Iona and abroad.
