A poetic performance in the landscape to mark the turning of the season with writer performer Emma Decent
On this slow-paced, guided walk in the beautiful landscape of Cornholme near Todmorden, Emma shares poetry and prose inspired by the land she loves. Reflecting on nature, time and being where you are now, this experience connects you to the earth, the season and yourself. The event takes place four times a year, one for every season.
A 6 week online writing course about returning to diaries and writing again
Emma has been a diary-writer since she was a teenager. In 2020 she started to look back at these writings piled up in the attic. She read and wrote again, a process which brought her creative satisfaction and greater clarity looking forward and back at her life. Emma offers this process now as a 6 week course during which you will be supported and guided to revisit a journal of your own and make something new of it.
Tues 14 Oct – Tues 18 Nov 2025 2pm – 4pm 6 consecutive weeks
From 1 May – 6 August 2024 Emma went on a 3 month solo trip around Canada and the United States (Turtle Island) exploring the landscape, indigenous culture, visiting museums and art galleries, being with friends and doing a month long training in wilderness therapy in California. Along the way she wrote, took photos and visited many libraries. Now she’s back.
