Our workshops are held at Corse House, nr Lumphanan on Royal Deeside.  Nestled in the Aberdeenshire hills, this 19th century stately home makes the ideal setting for peaceful reflection and time away from the busy pace of modern day living.

These Experiential Writing Workshops are based around the creative writing technique Free Writing (also known as Stream of Consciousness Writing).  Each workshop uses a different springboard such as photographic imagery, music, or visualisation to inspire and open creative pathways.   Our aim is to encourage freedom of expression, and therefore, no previous writing experience is necessary.  The exploration and sharing of your own unique story, and the witnessing of those of others, is a key element of this unique writing experience.

What is Free Writing?
Free Writing is a practice which requires you to write continuously for a specified period of time without editing what you are writing in any way.  This technique both expands creativity and deepens understanding by tapping into our inherent self-knowledge.
