Join us to revisit the places you loved or hated by writing about them, inviting a potential reader to come with you for the journey.
As the late Anthony Bourdain reminded us: “Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you… It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
Please have an object at hand that reminds you of one of the best trips you have ever been on, and one object that reminds you of the worst, and maps and photographs of these places. Google Maps will do if you don't have a physical map.
Dates: Sunday 5 & 12 October
Time: 6 - 9pm

FEE OPTIONS

Fee Option 2 - R600
Fee Option 3 - R800
We’re experimenting with a sliding scale fee model, allowing for the Writer’s Way events to be offered at multiple price points based on your financial circumstances.
For it to work, we’re relying on principles of truthfulness and accountability.
Teachers deserve to be paid and course participants deserve to attend personal development courses which recognise the multiple reality of economic access and privilege that exist.
Fee option 1 is a reduced rate for those whose budget genuinely cannot accommodate option 2.
Fee option 2 represents the fair and true cost of the course.
Fee option 3 is for those who are able to pay for themselves and pay extra towards making it possible for another person to attend a LRC writing course at a nominal rate.
