A Celebration of Mothering - Creative Writing Workshop.
Mothering is a journey that none of us can prepare for. It's also an ongoing process of self development, filled on a daily basis with challenges and joys. This writing workshop offers time to explore this journey and honour the many moments that slip by too quickly. All stages of mothering are welcome and it doesn't matter at all if you've not written anything more creative recently than a 'To Do list': do come and join us at the Salisbury Centre on Saturday 15th November from 11am - 4.30pm. Led by Dorothy Baird, poet, mother (of children in the school) and experienced leader of writing workshops. To book a place, contact the Salisbury Centre 2 Salisbury Road, Edinburgh 0131 667 5438 or email: office@salisburycentre.org For more information contact Dorothy 449 3265.
