Imagine entering a wood in winter. There are little noises once we orientate to the stillness. Under our feet, and under the earth, twigs crack and leaves crackle. Perhaps seeds and creatures are hibernating and renewing deep in the earth. We often have to stop and listen patiently – and perhaps if we wait without expectation, shy animals start to emerge.

Woods often have the flavour of mystery, a place for strange encounters – with witches, talking birds, or other wild spirits. In a similar way, when we put pen to paper we are showing willingness to enter the wood and meet whatever comes.

Over this weekend workshop, Wolf at the Door offers a friendly and nurturing way of exploring the imagination through writing, with the help of a little meditation and ritual. 

No writing experience is necessary, just a willingness to step through a door into new creative spaces, accompanied by experienced guides.
