WRITE WITH ME WORKSHOPS
They say everyone’s got a book in them, but who’s got time to write a book? Instead, beautifully craft a story from your life in just one page.
Do you have a story about a turning point in your life?
Or about enduring love?
Has your heart been trampled, broken and reassembled?
Could you write about a time when you were incredibly strong and brave?
Have you ever buckled under the weight of an event you thought would crush and defeat you, but you overcame?
If the theme of a writing workshop was Endings and Beginnings. What story would you tell?
If the theme was success, would you think outside the box?
Our stories are precious cargo.
My workshops are designed for community groups and government organisations, workplaces and corporate environments. The invitation is to craft personal stories on chosen themes in just one page.
WRITE WITH ME WORKSHOPS for community organisations.
For groups of people engaged with similar challenges. Carers. Teenagers. Seniors. Disabled people. Our First Nations people. Refugees. etc.
For People who live in the same city/town/suburb/village, whose lives have been deeply changed or uprooted by events. Floods/fires/etc.
For people who’d like to express what it means to live in a particular place.
For any community groups who would like to collate their stories for themselves and wider community.
WRITE WITH ME WORKSHOPS for corporate and workplace environments.
Sharing personal experiences written as flash stories is a strong and creative way to team build and grow trust. Universal themes such as Coping with Change or Struggle Towards Achieving a Personal Goal are wonderfully versatile and evoke unique responses. Discover more about colleagues in an inspirational setting and get a few surprises along the way. WRITE WITH ME WORKSHOPS are infinitely adaptable.
Workshop Content
Participants learn storytelling structure and skills to write using economy of language. No previous writing experience necessary. The themes and program duration are tailored to fit the needs and purpose of each individual group and organisation. After the workshop, stories can be used in many ways to benefit and support your community or organisation.
The focus I hold and nurture is always on transformative storytelling. For more information on what this means please read The Alchemy of Storytelling page. I have a Bachelor of Education from the University of London and 20 years teaching experience in many different settings. You’re in good hands and I’d love to write with you.
PRICING
Fees are by negotiation and dependent on hours and requirements. Where possible, I’d like to facilitate these workshops in-person.
