Detailed List of Retreats

Crafting words in shared silence: Write something! Anything! But write!

Teacher: Dorian Haarhoff
Cost: 3 days' accommodation plus R150
Dates: Sunday 02 September 2012 - Wednesday 05 September 2012

This Life is so short, this craft so long to learn (Chaucer). This retreat is for those who wish to begin or develop a piece of writing. We listen, observe, attend and allow the text to take us where it wants to go. We get out of the way so we can be spoken and written through. We move between workshop input and silent writing time. Like the potter, we spin, shape and fire our words so that they can find their simple beauty.
