*** We are all Storytellers ***<\/strong><\/p>\n

Human beings tell stories. It\u2019s what we do. We do it to experiment, to entertain, to educate ourselves, to escape. Being creative makes us feel better \u2013 and writing creatively makes us feel better still.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this\u00a0series of four workshops<\/strong>, Tara Guha will explore the link between creative writing and wellbeing. Sharing a wealth of exercises and techniques to get you writing, Tara will give you the tools to shape your own experience into words. Whether you\u2019re a secret scribbler, published author or complete beginner, learn to be your own muse. Expect a little transformation!<\/strong><\/p>\n
