Two Part Return - a Creative Writing course
at Hypatia Trust, Penzance, Cornwall. Wednesdays 6.30pm to 9pm. 12th February to 4th March £85 (and no processing fee!) via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/two-part-return-a-creative-writing-course-tickets-90009981277 This Creative Writing course by Linda Cleary explores the theme of identity, distorted reflections and doppelgängers. Other than our own discussions and considerations on work produced during the course, we will look at extracts from, amongst others, Haruki Murakami, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Alfred de Musset. Participants will work from the course theme and given briefs and exercises – writing and developing characters, scenes and narratives - producing pieces of writing within session time and utilising various writing techniques and methods. “Turning all this over in my mind, I started to imagine another me somewhere, sitting in a bar, nursing a whiskey, without a care in the world. The more I thought about it, the more that other me became the real me, making this me here not real at all.” Haruki Murakami, A Wild Sheep Chase. Other Creative Writing courses are available to download in the online shop at anytime and are also rolled out live at various times, also editing and mentoring services. Please see the website for all details: https://www.freewriterscentre.org/ NB. Event banner photograph: Mirror Reflection by Olga Sevastianova |

dreams & writing course
Wednesdays 6.30pm to 9pm - 6th to 27th November
This intensive 4 session Creative Writing course looks at how to use the alchemy of our own dream tapestry to weave into our creative writing. We can use our dreams to work on theme, characters and archetypes, dramatic structure and plot. We also look at how Jung dealt with dreams and drama and Dreamtime totems and the dreaming of landscape.
Each week we will look at a different subject whilst continuing to learn various techniques and
methods through exercises and grammar play.
Week 1: Focus is on The Dreamtime and You
Week 2: Focus is on Dream Characters
Week 3: Focus is on Living With A Dream
Week 4: Focus is on a Love Letter to the Landscape
Watch this short intro video

And though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that
will eventually startle us back to the Truth of who we are.
Rumi
