Castles of the Mind
Seahouses, Northumberland
Friday 14th – Sunday 16th September 2018
Do we have ‘castles of the mind’?
Traditionally, ancient castles were build where there was trouble… Do we have the equivalent in our minds and emotions? Have we, over the course of our lives, built up strong fortifications with which to repel those intrusions which, as children, we considered frightening?
Our ‘walk and talk’ events are friendly and informal. We ask those attending to bring one or two readings from their favourite books, poems, or other sources of inspiration. We listen and talk… and share. If someone is ready to enter their personal borderlands, we hold their hand and walk with them.
The cost per attendee is £50.00. This is an administrative cost, only. All personal costs and bookings, such as hotels and meals, are the responsibility of those attending. Meals are generally shared in a local pub, and the cost divided between those partaking.

Wonderful!
Hi Jennie, I am so amazed that you and I have a lot in common with working in schools (mine have been special needs – physically/developmentally/emotionally challenged of all ages up through adults) and both of us are quilters, and I too have done quilt projects and other art projects with my students. I served always as a substitute instructional aide, paraeducator, and then teacher (no certification) for them, and I loved them so much. I have been doing art quilts (humorous, spiritual and other things I just love for me and friends and for the children) since the 80’s. I am very happy to meet you, another soul on a similar journey. You made my heart smile when I read your background just a bit. Thank you kindly, and thank you too folks for the upcoming event. It sounds, as do they all, just wonderful. Thank you one and all!
Thank you, Anne. 🙂

I love castles. I am looking forward to moving back to the UK next year, Sue.
There should be plenty to satify your love of castles then, Robbie…and maybe you could join us one weekend 🙂
