Dates: Sat 22 – Sat 29 June 2019 Cost: £295 (course) + 580€ (accommodation and meals)
During the week you'll be looking at examples of fiction and non-fiction and examining what it is that works about them. You'll be given exercises to improve your storytelling skills and to help you plunder your memories for treasure. Lucy will build your confidence as a writer and give you some tools with which to combat creative block. By the end of the week you’ll feel ready to go forth into your writing life.
A warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere, cosy rooms, delicious locally grown food, wild walks in wild forests and inspiring company... I'll be back next year. (Jenny Cater) I was a physical wreck when I got to you and my mental state was pretty gloomy too. When I left, I felt light, free of pain and able to cope, and enthused about writing.” (Daphne Wilbraham) Access to a printer (bring a UBS key) can be arranged and we have a wifi point. As with our other weeks, massages are normally available from our on-site therapist, Frances. Walking maps can be provided, hammocks abound, and we’ll show you to the firewood pile in case you'd like to make yourself an outdoor fire in the evenings. As part of the informal atmosphere at Gardoussel, guests are asked to participate in tidying up after meals, on a rota basis. This is generally considered to be a plus rather than a chore as it helps the group to get to know one another better. Arrival is from 4pm on the first day, departure is after breakfast on the final day.
Course cost is £295
