Delicious writing

Following the success of my writing and yoga workshop in Stamford in January, several women showed an interest in meeting again to further their writing activities.

 I met with three of the women at Cafe au Chocolat in Stamford again recently and we had a wonderful morning of writing from prompts and then sharing our work. We were all so absorbed that we didn't notice how busy the cafe had got during our time there.

 It was such a pleasure to bring them together - so much so, they've made plans to meet regularly to write, which is what it's all about really. Also pleased to have been made an honorary member of their writing group, so that whenever I'm in the area again, I hope to be able to join them.
"Listening, witnessing, role modeling, reacting, deepening, mirroring, laughing, crying, grieving, drawing upon experience, and sharing the wisdom of experience, women in circles support each other."

Our first gathering!

Image
Our first writing group met on Monday 12 June. The theme for the morning, whilst not very imaginative, was Firsts / Beginnings. It proved to be an interesting topic for so many reasons, and when hearing of the many firsts of others attending, it really sparked many memories. In order to have beginnings, there's also endings, so this was the flip-side of the theme. Again, it proved to be very fruitful. The Watford Quaker Meeting House is the perfect venue, as we were in this delightful room (see image), which was extremely conducive to the writing process. Already looking forward to our next meeting on Monday 10 July. Keep in touch with other news via our Facebook page here

Autumn

Image
October's writing theme is Autumn. At first glance it would probably conjure up typical images of burnt oranges, deep reds and falling leaves. Don't be fooled though. Autumn gives us a wide spectrum from which to draw writing inspiration - some very unexpected. To find out more why not come and join us? We are meeting on Monday 09 October from 09.30 to 12.30 at Watford Quakers Meeting House, Church Road, Watford WD17 4QB. It's a very relaxed setting and welcomes new and experienced writers alike. Refreshments are provided and there's a fee of £5.00 payable on arrival (cash please - thank you). We look to meet on the second Monday of each month (diary permitting). Hope to see you soon.
