‘The Winding Path’ Writing Workshop
Deirdre Cartmill, Writer in Residence at Belfast Cathedral.
Belfast Cathedral Writer in Residence, Deirdre Cartmill, will be running a second writing workshop in the Cathedral’s Chapel of Unity on Saturday November 13 from 11am-1.30pm.
Everyone is welcome, whether a new writer or a seasoned professional.
The theme for the workshop is The Winding Path. There will be an opportunity to explore the Cathedral’s pathways, whether it’s walking among the hidden treasures of the ambulatory, stepping through the labyrinth, following the flow of the stained glass windows, uncovering the journeys beginning and the journeys ending, or the many pilgrims’ journeys remembered here. Participants can reflect on how these pathways chime with the path they are currently walking through life, and find out how to write from this deeper place.
There is also the potential for some of the work produced to be shared on the Cathedral’s website and across their social media.
The cost is £15/£12 (you decide what you can afford). There is free car parking at the Cathedral for attendees. Places are limited so please book early by emailing admin@belfastcathedral.org or by calling the Cathedral on 028 9032 8332. Please visit the Cathedral website for Covid safety regulations.
