DO YOU FEEL LOST?
WITHOUT DIRECTION?
SEARCHING FOR YOUR TRUE NORTH?
Then we have the experience for you…the experience of your lifetime.
Join the expert guides at Hiking Highs in a brand-new collaboration with Write-A-Way Workshops, as we help you write the next chapter of your life…on your terms…against the stunning backdrop and beauty of the ageless Cumbrian mountains. Detach from the mundane day-to-day and elevate yourself into the lofty realms of your limitless imagination. Let us help you find your voice, re-author your story, and reclaim your future.
Our 48-hour retreat combines a deep physical reconnection with the wonders of the natural world…soul-awakening yoga practices; awe-inspiring hikes to secret hidden valleys; the majestic grandeur of the annual deer-rut…alongside a transformative writing workshop - with a difference…held deep in the heart of England’s beautiful Lake District.
Using the transformative power of Narrative Therapy techniques, and harnessing the wisdom of conscious awareness methodology, our qualified English teacher Martin Daniels BaHons(Lit) will give you the tools to take stock of your life journey thus far, express your authentic self in the present moment, and create the life of your dreams through the awesome creative power of the written word as you step into a bright new future.
Take those dreams out of your head, get them down on paper, and start to live them here in the real world. Take charge of your dearest hopes, wishes and ambitions, and learn how you already have everything you need inside of you to bring them to life. Create…and then be…the lead character in your own story. Become the person you’ve always dreamed of…become the hero of your own story.
Don’t delay…Do it…Write A Way!
Let’s start here: you don’t need to be a ‘writer’ to attend this writing workshop. It’s more than ‘just’ a writing workshop. This is about reclaiming YOUR story; it’s about re-authoring your life to date, reclaiming your story from those people, places and events that you have allowed to tell it for you…at least until now.
We will take you on a revelatory journey, from your childhood to the present moment, and show you how you may have handed the reins of your life to others without even knowing it. We will show you how you can take back your power from people, events…even institutions…in your life that have told you what to think…what to do…how to behave…and even who to be. We will empower you to realise that you are the author of your own story.
