ESCAPE TO A COSY WORLD OF WORDS THIS WINTER (IT’S FREE!)

As winter draws in at the end of another tumultuous year, you are invited to come and seek refuge in the Winter Writing Sanctuary, a nine-day online writing course to soothe the mind and nourish the soul. Class runs December 28-Jan 5 so we can write through that precious time between Christmas and New Year. Writing can be a form of self-care. This short (but very inspiring) online class will be a beacon in the darkest season, offering an outlet for all you have been carrying, as well as a release after the chaos, stress and emotional pressure of the holidays. It includes a live writing session where you can write alongside others from around the world. Join me, Beth Kempton, for cosy fireside chats, and daily writing prompts and inspiration, as we transition into 2025 together.

**ALL NEW content for 2024/5***

THIS CLASS IS COMPLETELY FREE AS A GIFT FROM ME TO YOU.

Bring your friends and let’s write the winter together!
