Write & Shine with The Tablet - Early Morning Writing Workshops: Gathering the Harvest

Start Your Morning with Words, Wonder & Creativity We’re delighted to be partnering once again with Write & Shine for a special series of early-morning creative writing workshops, led by author and facilitator Gemma Seltzer, founder of the acclaimed Write & Shine workshop series. These relaxed and welcoming sessions are a chance to pause, reflect and get creative at the start of your day. Through imaginative writing prompts inspired by literature, art and the natural world, Gemma will encourage you to explore ideas, memories and stories in new ways. You’ll write throughout each session, with no pressure to share your work. The aim is simply to let your ideas emerge freely and discover where your imagination takes you. Whether you’re completely new to creative writing or an experienced writer looking for fresh inspiration, or evening purchasing this package as a unique gift, each participant will leave each workshop with new pieces of writing, creative prompts to explore and renewed momentum. Wednesday 21 October As autumn brings the harvest season, we’ll explore the stories, memories and spiritual reflections that emerge from this time of year. We’ll read poems about gratitude and thanksgiving, and reflect on themes of stewardship, abundance and caring for one another. Craft focus: Generating ideas and developing them into poems and stories, exploring how writers nurture an initial spark and turn it into a finished piece. Start Your Day Inspired All workshops take place on Zoom. Arrival: from 8.15am Workshop: 8.30am–10.00am What to bring: a notebook, a pen and your favourite morning drink Come as you are, take some time for yourself, and start the morning with words, creativity and a little wonder.
