This six day course will consist of 5 morning workshops on one of Limnisa's terraces overlooking the Saronic Gulf. The workshops will be serious and concentrated. The afternoons will be used to work on your writing and for (optional) one-to-one sessions with the tutor. There will be time put aside every late afternoon for (optional) open group discussions. Every morning the day starts with an (optional) yoga class and a delicious Breakfast Buffet afterwards!
The creative writing course is aimed at those who want to get familiar with the processes involved in writing a story but also at those who more generally want to improve their own writing skills. Are you totally new to writing? Are you keen to get back to writing? Or are you an experienced writer seeking new inspiration? Then this course will work for you.
