Description

Learn to unlock your imagination and harness the power of the written word.

In The Power of Imagination writing workshop, you will be shown new ways to tap into your imagination. Through a series of focused exercises, you will be taught how to forge a connection between your mind and the blank page.

Writing can be wonderfully therapeutic and this workshop (now in its third year!) will lead you to find greater confidence in yourself and in your writing abilities.

No writing experience is necessary; you simply need an inquisitive mind and a willingness to explore new concepts and experiment with words!

Why is imagination important?

Imagination enables us to experience different realities; through it we can appreciate different perspectives, travel to new places and visualise possible futures. Whether conceiving realist or abstract concepts, our imaginative scope is almost limitless.

Accessing that potential isn’t always easy. For writers, mental ‘blocks’ often stem from an inability to piece together images and concepts. Knowing how to capture the essence of an image or idea and transform it into writing requires practise and knowledge of the right tools.
