The Stories we Tell - October workshops online with Sarah and Jamie Jauncey
Sarah and Jamie are offering two weekend workshops - with exclusive discounts for CR as well as part of the proceeds going towards the CR appeal.
Writing From The Heart
Whether you have a particular writing project, are interested in writing for wellbeing, or simply want to develop your own 'voice', these workshops are for you. They’re an opportunity to reflect on what it takes to speak authentically, to make strong connections with yourself and the world around you, and to experiment with different approaches to the stories you want to tell.
Weekend 16th -17th October
10 am -12 pm; 2 pm - 4 pm
Life Stories
On this ever-popular weekend we look at our personal and family histories, as well as the influence of significant people and events in our lives. By revisiting these stories we tell about ourselves and our lives we can gain a fresh perspective on who we are, where we're going, and how we can best manage the challenges of living in an increasingly fraught and uncertain world.
Weekend 30th - 31st October
10 am -12 pm; 2 pm - 4 pm
Cost and discounts:
Standard price for each weekend is £200, but pay £180 if you say you heard about the workshops through Cortijo Romero by emailing corrie@thestorieswetell.org.uk
A further portion of the proceeds will also be given to CR for the appeal fund.
