Yes, it’s all kicking off again soon. The Return of Pencraft. The Pen is mightier than the Sword. I’m really excited about running Pencraft again on September 19th. Pencraft workshops help the writer to hone their writing skills, forge the raw material they have (if they do, or create new writing) into prose that works, with their own voice and hallmark. The rest is the continual polishing of the nuts and bolts, so that the surface shines and the reader falls into, as John Gardner puts it ‘the continuous dream’.
TUESDAY EVENINGS 7-9PM BOTH IN PERSON AND VIA ZOOM. RECORDINGS AVAILABLE TO THOSE IN OTHER TIME ZONES. MATERIAL AND HANDOUTS WEEKLY BY EMAIL. STARTS September 26th UNTIL 14th November. In Person places very limited. Venue- Delgany, Co. Wicklow

TESTIMONIALS
“Siofra’s writing workshops are easily described as the emotional metamorphosis so many seek and can never find. hic sunt dracones, here be dragons, says the world, and “here be dragons, close your eyes and feel the calm…”, she says. Beautiful journey this was!” Ishwari, Sri Lanka, The Hero’s Journey and The Heroine’s Journey
“I have attended two of Siofra’s courses, the first The Hero’s Journey in person was my first proper foray into writing, and was a wonderful journey into adventure. The second I attended The Heroine’s Journey online, over two years and pandemic later. It was such a rich experience I will be forever grateful. The places opened by Siofra’s gentle yet powerful guiding light are almost beyond words – and yet words come, and it is our duty to listen. It is alchemy in action. I will return for more once I am sure! ” Fiona, Greystones, The Heroines Journey and The Hero’s Journey
