Trees and Us: Reading and Writing Workshop for Wellbeing – London Literary Salon
Date: 6th and 13th July
Time: 4:00-6:00 pm
Where: Online via Zoom
Cost: £15 per session
Description:
Tree metaphors surround us – from back to our roots to out on a limb; seed in the mind to branching out; family tree, decision tree, tree of life . . . Powerful symbols of the paradox between stability and freedom, trees can provide a rich starting point for the unfurling of complex ideas.
We will read carefully selected poems and prose about trees (e.g. Blake, Larkin, Oliver) as a starting point for writing, reflection and dialogue. We will practice shared reading and use a blend of creative, expressive and reflective writing approaches – flow writing, poetry making, metaphor, life writing – as writing prompts. In this supportive, confidential space, you will have the opportunity to share your writing (although you will never be obliged to do so) and to reflect on others’ writing.
No formal experience or preparation is needed, just an open mind and a willingness to give writing a try! This workshop is about self-development rather than literary-development.
