A poetic writing residential holiday retreat with yoga and dance
Held at the beautiful Hawkwood College
Thursday 12th August 2009-Sunday15th August 2010
Give yourself time to reconnect with your creative source at a leisurely pace in inspiring, like-minded company. Jay has run his Chrysalis retreats in Wales, Ireland and Greece. This new holiday retreat combines his most recent poetry techniques in the 'Edges' series with the spacious, relaxing setting of Hawkwood (www.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk) in high summer. Come and unwind in the beautiful gardens, enjoying woodland walks and stunning Cotswold views. A mix of meditation, visualisation, partner and group work will be balanced with simple daily yoga for self-healing and dance sessions led by Christina (some often as specific inspiration for writing). There will be some group ceremonial work as well as plenty of free, unstructured time. Please bring your poetry to share as well as loose, comfortable clothing and writing materials.
