New Eyes For Seeing ;
An inquiry into “Gender in/equality in our times”.
Workshop exploring collective inquiry & consensus building.
Sun 14th March : 10am – 5pm
Forest Café Hall
This workshop is an exploration of a consensus-building process using the topic of ‘Gender in/equality today’ as the focus of inquiry. Participants will be guided through a number of different approaches to understand and ‘see’ ‘Gender’ from a collective pespective and to explore a dialogue process that prompts non-conflict engagement and communication.
Open to all, this event is suited to those who are interested in engaging with ‘Gender’ issues itself, or who wish to explore collective inquiry and consensus-building processes further. Please see poster for further information and booking.

This workshop is a public inquiry into 'Climate Change' and explores consensus-building and collaborative inquiry techniques. Participants will come to explore 'Climate Change' in a very personal, way broadening their own perceptions of it and better understanding their own positions to it. The personal will be mirrored off the many views of the collective in a way that can extend comprehension to begin to build ground for consensus.
The workshop is open to all. It is suited to those interested and concerned about 'Climate Change' and for those interested in collective decision-making processes. Please see attached flyer for more details and important information.

Brand new skill-sharing Creative Writing Workshop. All levels extremely welcome. In fact, as long as you can spell your own name, you're in. And if Irvine Welsh wants to turn up, all the better! It's structure will be relatively informal, based primarily on skill-sharing with fellow scribblers - a chance to share work and give/receive constructive criticism. We'll also try some short writing exercises on chosen themes, such as Character or Dialogue, with group consensus on what we cover the next week. So if you want to work on a specific aspect of your writing, we'll endeavour to accommodate. For more info, e-mail Jo the workshop runner at:
