Write the Land
Saturday 15 June 2024
11am-4:30pm
Church Farm Meadow
Private Nature Reserve
Bramfield, Suffolk
At midsummer, close to the summer solstice and the turning point it represents, join us to mark this time of maximum light and expansiveness. It will be a chance to sink into land and nature connection, slow writing and community. Writing will help us to digest our experiences and distill precious insight.
Joanna Guthrie is a poet, writer and facilitator whose writing focuses on the other-than-human world. Her second poetry collection was published last year.
Rebecca Stonehill is a writer, creative writing teacher and activist. She has published three novels and a memoir and is the founder of Norwich Writers Rebel.
The day will include:
- An Invitation for slow writing to sink into land, nature and other-than-human connection
- Sharing of poetry and verses
- Guided meditation and contemplation
- Labyrinth walking
- Smaller group work
- An invitation to share writing in a small, supportive community
Contribution: £45, £35, £30 – choose what you can afford. Please consider paying the highest amount to support our work and those who can only afford the lower price. If this is too high for you and you would like to join us, please get in touch.

Spaces are limited. Book early.
No previous writing experience is necessary.
Facilities: We will be on the nature reserve therefore facilities are very simple to minimise impact on the wildlife. We have a large yurt in case of showers but we will spend most of the time outdoors. There is a compost loo and water.
Travel: We encourage car sharing, use of public transport or bicycles.
Parking: Parking is available at Bramfield Village Hall for a small charge of £3 per vehicle. We have 4 spaces by the meadow for people with limited mobility.
Refreshments: Tea and biscuits provided. Please bring your own packed lunch.
Buses: The Charcoal Line 40, 41, X41 runs from Norwich to Halesworth once an hour. We can offer a lift from there. The workshop is timed to work around when buses arrive and leave Halesworth.
Address and directions will be provided after booking.
We look forward to welcoming you to the meadow.
