Creative Writing and Journalling with Sally Page

Everyone has a story to tell and it is through our stories that we make sense of the world around us. Sally Page, author of the bestselling novel, The Keeper of Stories, will explore how journaling and unleashing creativity can help remove blockages within the subconscious, enabling us to make sense of our lives and the challenges we face. Sally will share her own experiences with you and introduce you to some practical exercises that can form part an on-going programme. And it is never too late to start – Sally’s debut novel was released when she had just turned sixty.

Daily Walks with Tabbin

Tabbin will lead a morning walk for anyone who would like to join her. These walks will give you the chance to tune into nature first thing in the morning, to meditate and to practice gratitude. 

Dartmoor is a spectacular place, designated one of England's six National Parks. All across Dartmoor you will see granite boulders and granite outcrops (known as 'tors') on top of hills. The rocks on the ground are often used for building walls, as is the case at the now-deserted Teign Head Farm, where this photo was taken.  You will see wild ponies, as well as sheep and cattle all across the moor.  

Tabbin was brought up on Dartmoor and has a deep love of this wild and beautiful place.
