Dawn Gorman believes poetry should be everywhere - puts it on beermats, uses it to
work with people with memory loss, facilitates writing workshops, organises poetry
events and runs international poetry competitions. She is widely published, and has
performed in New York, Paris, London - and lots of smaller places in between.

“Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket;
you put your life into it and make something out of that.” Mary Oliver

Think Well - Positive Adventures in Creative Writing

Series of five creative writing workshops (with more, hopefully, to follow) geared towards helping you find a positive outlook on life through writing. No creative writing experience is necessary and you will discover that not only is it impossible to get creative writing 'wrong', but also that you are already a natural storyteller in your everyday life!

Our focus will be on listening, and being listened to, without judgement. You will discover how writing encourages you to be 'in the moment', and we will work with the senses to develop your observational skills, taking our writing inspiration from things such as everyday objects, views through a window and imagined places. You will discover the benefits of giving yourself the chance to reflect on your own life in relation to new and different stimuli.
Free for Somerset residents. Thursdays at the Cheese & Grain, Frome, 10am-12 noon, five weeks starting on January 23rd. Drop in sessions, so come for as many or as few as you wish, at any point during the series of five.
