Creative Writing and Ritual

About the course

How do you make sure that your writing rituals help to increase productivity? Join Thom Seddon on his workshop, Creative Writing & Ritual as he explores ‘rituals’ in around writing and creativity, with participants being invited to experience first-hand how focused exercises can be used to initiate productivity, inspire new pieces of work, and banish procrastination.

You'll learn...

Participants will explore writing rituals through a variety of innovative and exciting creative exercises. We will give structure to the seemingly structureless, create personally powerful methods to instigate new writing, and look at ways that ritual can get us into the right headspace to focus on writing in abundance, getting around the dreaded ‘writer’s block’ through the medium of warm-up prompts and ‘ritualistic’ writing exercises.
The aim of the workshop is to be fun and exploratory, while also focusing on producing several pieces of writing and creative works.
