An online workshop for free-spirited writerly wanderers. An interplay of poetic passages, evocative prompts and sublime sharing will help you breathe life into the precious and deeply personal realm of your own writing. "Give me one lonely hour to hymn the setting day." (William Cullen Bryant)

Ease yourself into the relaxing world of writing. Arrive with your own ideas or let yourself be inspired by a variety of intriguing impulses provided. At various points in the evening, you will be invited to read what you have written. This course is all about immersing yourself within the freedom and relief of writing -- and doing so within the warm generosity of a group.

If you enjoy reading and sharing your ideas, come join us! We meet informally approximately every four weeks to discuss novels. Please read the book for every session and bring your thoughts with you. The book club will suit people who enjoy discussing fiction in a group setting. -A.S. Byatt, Possession (October) -Paul Harding, This other Eden (November) -Hugo Hamilton, The Pages (December) -Thomas King, Indians on Vacation (January) -Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom (February)

This course is intended for students who are already writing short fiction in English in any genre and wish to improve upon their skills with targeted feedback. While there will be instruction and assigned writing exercises, the focus will be on sharing students' completed works with the rest of the group. Each work will receive moderated attention from peers, as well as the teacher, who is a widely published short fiction author.

As Franz Kafka wrote, "A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us". Let's stay warm this winter by discussing good books with others! The theme is change: How to rise to the challenge of navigating the new, whether the Sri-Lankan Civil War, unrelenting neighbours, apocalyptic pandemics, or conflicted love in Azerbaijan? To be read in advance: - Almeida, S. Karunatilaka, The Seven Moons of Maali (November) - Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove (December) - Emily St. John Mandel, Station Eleven (January) - Kurban Said, Ali and Nino (February)

This course introduces you to different aspects of creative writing: character, setting, dialogue, genre, point-of-view, poetry and more – fun and playful exercises to encourage the inner writer to fly. We’ll work inside the classroom and outside in nature. We’ll write, review, read out, share, listen and watch. Each week we'll try something new, something a little bit different: strong verbs, fanciful conversations, unexpected delights.

You will learn how to write and read Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Additionally, you will acquire the ability to speak and form simple sentences in Korean, while also gaining knowledge about basic grammar and sentence structure. This course will be taught in English. You need at least B2 in English to take part.

This workshop involves meeting on a Friday evening (online) in order to write deeply, freely, and personally, then gathering (one week later) on Saturday with the fullness of our bodies and voices to learn how to bring those words to life. Together we will then design a Live Reading with subtle performative and atmospheric elements to make for a whole and wondrous experience for an audience on Sunday.
