EDGES
Poetry and Renewing the Creative Process

Acclaimed poet and teacher, Jay Ramsay, offers a series of brilliantly inspiring exercises, both for writing and to extend our receptive and imaginal awareness, celebrating our ‘edges’ creatively as well as personally, opening out new possibilities of expression.

Fee for the 2 days: €160. Early bird booking: before July 31st: €130
