What you say about our classes:
Creative Writing
The Zoom creative writing sessions have been great for me in lockdown, especially as I am shielding. Oriana sends us very comprehensive and interesting worksheets so we can prepare beforehand and then read out to each other during the session. It’s so good to connect in this way with fellow writers and get the amazing encouragement from Oriana and members of the group. It has been so good to be challenged creatively during this very difficult time and then share our work with familiar faces. Thank you so much Oriana for being so inspirational and considerate.

T'ai Chi
It was much more fun doing the form with other people instead of practising alone and picking up all sorts of bad habits. I find I'm more motivated to get it right if I have Neil saying do this and do that all the time and also I can ask questions. As always with Zoom it was lovely to be able to see everyone.
If anyone isn't sure about Zoom, I would say It's well worth the initial struggle that everyone experiences to get the first session working as after that it's so easy to participate in groups like this as well as chat 'face to face' with your friends and family. - EM
