Write to Roam is a writing workshop woven into a hike. For this month’s hike we are walking Seven Sisters🌊
This is a community event created to bring people together, in nature, whilst connecting with your creative self. The creative writing workshop consists of simple exercises, with no pressure to share your writing with the rest of the group.
Anyone is welcome at Write to Roam, you do not have to work in a creative field to take part. All we ask is that you approach the day with kindness towards others. Write to Roam is for anyone who uses writing as a creative outlet. The hike a chance for you to connect with nature, through creativity.
You can come armed with an idea you’re currently working on, use the prompts to get started on something new, or just see where the vibe takes you ✏️
