Ultreia! is a 6-week book writing intensive. It is for people who know what they want to write and seek guidance coming to the page.

 About the Lapidus Living Research Community

The Lapidus Living Research Community (LLRC) meets on the first Saturday of every month via Zoom to discuss all things research, with a focus on qualitative arts-based research practices, theory and methods.

All Lapidus members are welcome, regardless of research experience. FREE AND NO TICKETS REQUIRED. Use the Zoom link above to access the event.

This playful three hour workshop will help you explore ways of writing creatively to enhance your well being. Focussing on writing for fun, relaxation and self care you’ll be responding to objects, images, memories and textures. Writer, facilitator and psychotherapist Sue Mayfield will help you observe, invent and imagine. Prior to the event you’ll receive a packet of materials by post. Across the morning there’ll be prompts, guided thinking, simple techniques and lots of space to write silently in the presence of like-minded others. You may prefer to keep what you write to yourself but if you’d like to share it, there’ll be opportunities to receive respectful listening and gentle feedback.

The workshop is suitable for both experienced writers and complete beginners.
The cost is £40 (or £35 Early Bird if booked before 31/1/25)
