Creative writing + wellbeing

Creative Writing and Wellbeing residential course at Arvon, the UK’s National Writing Centre

May 13-18, 2019

This is a week for writers and not-yet-writers looking for inspiration, authenticity of voice, fresh new ways into creativity and enhanced wellbeing. We bring together the practice of creative writing with the applied science of positive psychology. Together we’ll explore resilience, imagination, empathy, observation and focus. You might create haiku or flash fiction, nature writing or life writing. You might begin a memoir, or re-tell an old tale. You can have it both ways: apply the science of wellbeing to improve your creative writing, and/or let the practice of creative writing enhance your wellbeing. Taught by Elise Valmorbida and Vanessa King, with Beth Kempton as Guest Tutor.

  • Uncover the soul mission of your business, and get absolute clarity on who you want to serve, what you can offer them and how you want to serve them.
