fire in the head talks, workshops & retreats 2014

This is an updated calendar for the events (so far) for the rest of the year, should any of you be enticed to come along. Most of the day workshops are in the Westcountry, but there are retreats further afield: there are a couple of places for people willing to camp at a reduced rate or sleep at a local auberge on the French writing and mindfulness retreat at the end of August 
(see http://abricreativewriting.com/events2014/Writing%20the%20Bright%20Moment%20with%20Roselle%20Angwin.html)

but please note that my Iona retreat in April 2015 is fully booked with a waiting list. I am considering offering a second with a different focus.

I very much look forward to meeting some of you at one or other of these events. You can see more details on www.fire-in-the-head.co.uk; www.thewildways.co.uk

I've highlighted two events coming up very shortly.

Oh and my Writing the Bright Moment coursebook (which has had excellent reviews) has just been reprinted. I'll be updating the Paypal button, below, right, soon.
