Overview:
Get inspired, nurture your creativity, and expand your writing practice during this drop-in workshop in the yurt at Fogwood Gardens.
This January, join us beside the wood stove at the cozy Fogwood yurt, nestled in the woods of Arrowsic, just outside of Bath.
Poet Stevie Trevino will guide you through simple exercises & gentle prompts designed to clear your creative channels and allow inspiration to flow.
Using timed writing exercises, exploration of metaphor and sensation, and examples from Stevie’s poetry, you will be guided toward writing a complete poem of your own.
The themes are “Winter” and “Light.”
This workshop is designed to be meditative and immersive.
Writers of all skill levels are welcome to join.
There will be light refreshments.

About The Fogwood Yurt:
The Fogwood yurt is located in the heart of Fogwood Gardens and offers an intimate interior space that will be warmed with a woodstove. Enjoy the creature comforts of a full kitchen to warm up tea, indoor composting toilet, and a front deck in line with the tree canopies. The yurt was created with the intention to apply perspective on the surroundings, and to invite feelings of relaxation.
Parking:
The yurt is located at 725 Old Stage Road, Arrowsic. There are two driveways. The upper driveway is parking for a private residence. Continue about 100 feet down the road and you will see the lower driveway with a small Fogwood Gardens sign in front. This is the driveway where you will be parking.
The driveway is long and there should be plenty of room to park. However, with a full event some cars may be blocked in. We will be mindful of this at the event's conclusion.
