A day reading and writing poems.
Our discussions will be led by Dr Manon Ceridwen James. She is an experienced facilitator having led many retreats and poetry days. During the day we will examine and discuss a selection of poems with a spiritual theme as well as sharing ideas and thoughts. There will be plenty of time for you to work on your own writing or to take time for yourself in and around the cathedral. If you are new to writing poetry we will share some techniques to get you started, no prior experience is necessary.
