Playcation - a 1 day creative vacation for 'arty-types' with Emily Sheehan and Kyle Walmsley

Perfect for… writers, storytellers, performers, drama teachers, and those with creative projects on the go.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

You are someone who defines themselves as a ‘creative’. Maybe you have multiple creative projects on the go as part of your work. Or maybe your art is a big part of expressing yourself. Do you have a million ideas, but no focus to follow through? Or perhaps you’re experiencing writer’s block. We get it. If you’re waiting on the “right time” to get back into it - well this workshop is it. This is your permission slip.

This one day workshop includes yoga, meditation, writing exercises (for writers and non-writers) and reflective activities. Take some time out to connect with your inner artist. Lunch will be provided for this workshop.

This workshop is for adults aged 18 years and over.
