Workshops

ESL Workshop

English as a Second Language Workshop

Speaking fluently is a luxury many take for granted. We do not mean to but we are born where we are born and wherever that is, that language becomes our native language.

We pick up its details and complex nuance through daily absorption-conversation. This became apparent to me when I lived abroad and had to learn another language; its acquisition was not straightforward.

This workshop is a celebration of all those acquiring the English language as a second language. We will be doing a series of activities that will help you at whatever level you are at and empower you to communicate with equal parts competence and confidence.


A Poetry Workshop

The Poetry of The Bible Workshop

Psalms, proverbs, song of songs, Ecclesiasties and Job. These are the poetic books of the bible. In this limited series we will go on an exploration of all these books and rediscover the wonder of the words that make them in a way that only poetic appreciation can!

Together we will look at how these different poems that make up these books were written and how we can write our own.


A Creative Writing Workshop

A Compact
Creative Writing 
Workshop

 This workshop is an honest, deeply informative, sometimes funny and always useful tour through the realm of creative writing.
There will be no pedantic posturing in this presentation (no one likes a no-it all), no navel gazing encouraged (the job of writing is to actually write) and no enabling of tired cliched approaches, terms or tactics.
There will be no reinventing of the wheel either, I am not Shakespeare reborn. My writing style is my own and my aim among many others will be to help you discover and nurture yours.
