Program
Join
Peter Murphy
in the country of his birth for an extraordinary writing getaway. You will have a chance to write, immersed in
the breathtaking landscape which inspired the legend of King Arthur and
the Welsh epic The Mabinogion. Peter, whose unique assignments have helped thousands find
voice and direction, will challenge you to stretch your
imagination by exploring your personal myth to produce new poems or
prose based on life experiences, fantasies and dreams.
Each morning you will join Peter and the other writers to discuss craft
issues around a packet of stories, poems and essays. Then Peter will
give you one of his imaginative assignments and send you off to work.
These writing prompts are designed to challenge you whether you are
starting a new poem or prose piece, or working on a long-term project
such as a novel, short story, memoir or other nonfiction manuscript.
If you a beginner they will get you started on your way. If you have
decades of experience, they will compel you to go deeper, take more
risks and experiment in form and content.
After
lunch you may continue writing, explore the outstanding natural beauty of Snowdonia on a short hike,
go swimming in Lake Nantlle or
join in on one of the Optional Excursions visiting local castles or
riding up the side of Mount Snowdon on a train. Evenings will offer
time to socialize (One night around a campfire!), watch films set in Wales
and meet with a local writer. Or you can keep writing.
The week will also include opportunities to share your new writing in
supportive feedback sessions. Whether you write poetry or prose, you
will return home from this adventure energized by the magical setting
and excited to continue writing. Register today, you won't regret it.
Private Spaces for Writing
Myth, Mountain & Imagination will be held at Trigonos, a retreat centre on a working farm located on Lake Nantlle in Northwest Wales. There are plenty of nooks, crannies and lovely places to write, both inside and out. Learn more about the Setting of this unique Getaway.
Optional Excursions
Mini-adventures will include visits to castles, mountains and more. Details will be shared with registered participants as the Getaway gets closer.
