Join Margaux Vialleron, our 2026 Jessie Kesson Fellow, at Abriachan Forest for a creative writing workshop. We will listen to the surrounding nature first, then write. Margaux will take you through some free-writing exercises inspired by the environment, in a relaxed and inclusive setting.
This creative writing workshop is about hearing your voice, so you can discover what and how you would like to write. It is aimed at anyone who is curious about words and no previous writing experience is required. Bring whatever materials you are most comfortable with, whether that’s in paper or digital forms.
