Into the Dark

21st July - 25th August 2023
Fridays 10am - 11:30am NZT

​'Into the Dark' is a 6-week online winter workshop series to explore the creative potential of darkness through writing.

In modern culture, we avoid the darkness, slowness, and mystery. We are conditioned to keep the lights on: to be productive every hour of the day. But our world needs us to find a more natural rhythm, and we need it too. 

This workshop series is an opportunity to discover what happens when we approach creative writing not as an act of producing, but as an act of yielding to the unknown. 

• ​​How might darkness be a muse?
• What happens when we dwell in 'the unseen' through creative writing?
• What becomes possible when we practice pausing rather than pushing?​

This is for you if:

• You consider yourself a 'writer' or not
• You want to be part of a creative community
• You are tired (maybe very very tired) and are craving time outside of time
• You want to explore the creative potential of 'darkness' in your life

When you sign up, you will:

• Be guided through a series of rich creative explorations
• Explore what going 'into the dark' means in your life
• Be part of a community of other sensitive and creative humans

What’s included:

• Six live group zoom sessions (1.5 hours each)
• Additional creative prompts to explore in your own time
• Optional 1:1 mentoring session with Rata
