Creative Resolutions - Kickstart Your Creativity

Whether you want to make time to write short stories, having a burning urge to write a novel, or you want to commit to journalling more regularly - this workshop will get you on your way.

You'll spend the day at the lovely Windmill Hill City Farm in Bristol - a hidden gem that's guaranteed to get your creative wheels turning!

During the session you'll work with award-winning writer and founder of WriteClub, Alison Powell to:

  • Get to the heart of what you really want to create

Alison will create a supportive environment with prompts and guidance to help you find clarity and build momentum. She'll give you space to write your intentions and share your words (if you want to!). She'll also provide a fantastic reading list, designed to support creative practices and set you up with suggestions about how to reach your goals this year.
