WRITING and WALKING JOURNEY in TUSCANY with Joanne Fedler
11 days departing 3rd June 2012 (ex Rome) - CLOSED
Writing and walking are twin experiences. Both journeys must be undertaken step by step, sometimes through unknown territories.
You need no writing experience, no writing skills, no fancy notebooks. No matter how good or bad you think you are at writing, you will surprise yourself as each day, in the exquisite setting of Tuscany and Cinque Terre, we use our bodies, our senses and our imaginations to converse with the landscape, the people, the tastes and the inspirations of our surroundings.
During this trip, author Joanne Fedler will be your facilitator as we explore the landscape of Tuscany through the writer’s eye. You will learn how to use writing as a tool for reflection, processing, contemplation and ‘emotional footage’. You’ll be introduced to some of the cornerstones of the writer’s way in the world: deep observation, use of metaphor, listening – to places and people, connecting to the landscape, and using the body and all its senses. Through writing, we harvest our experiences, and press them through the distillery of the heart. Joanne Fedler’s WINGS programme will help bring alive this walking holiday with a difference through more than twenty hours of facilitation and writing instruction.
Tuscany is a land where the past lives alongside the present – its centuries-old traditions permeate daily life. Come to Tuscany and discover the hidden corners of an ancient land. Take in the essence of this enchanted landscape, from the harmony of it’s sun-soaked countryside to the gentle
contours of its hill towns, to the warmth and wit of its people. Tuscany from the inside out ... an insider’s experience that helps you take part in the true Tuscan way of life.
