The
Walking Writer workshop is all about nature and writing. Many writers including
Virginia
Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, and Frank O'Hara used walking as a way of stimulating
their writing. Walking is not just good for the physical body; it is good for
the mind too. For William
Blake and William Wordsworth, writing was a way to leave the outside world
behind.
We will
be retreating from the busy everyday into our own particular creative worlds
with an emphasis on sight, sound, smell, touch and hearing and there will be
some readings. We will be writing and walking in the wooded areas of East Barnet. You will have a chance to discuss your
latest writing project, make new writing friends or meet old ones. We will be joining Greenacre Walks for the Pymmes Brook Trail and will stop
for lunch at the cafe in Oak Hill Park. After lunch there will be a short performance at the Band Stand where we will read our poetry and prose before continuing the walk.
