Writing Your Way - Writing Group

Dates: 
Saturday 21st Mar 2026 - 2.00pm to 4.00pm

A fun and engaging monthly workshop exploring creative writing and its connection with spiritual practice.

We'll be using exercises from different sources including Manjusvara's book "Writing Your Way" as well as other exercises. We are currently using Melissa Donovan's book "101 Creative Writing Exercises" published by Swan Match Press.

The emphasis is on getting the words down on the page in a safe and encouraging space and not on producing finished polished work.

If you are a writer already and are interested in how this could combine with a spiritual practice or you are someone who has the desire to write but hasn't gotten around to it yet then this group would be suitable for you.

Do bring a notebook and pen and Melissa Donovan's book, if you have it. We will endeavour to keep the website updated with the book we are currently using.

If you would like to buy a copy of Manjusvara's book "Writing Your Way", you can get an electronic copy from Windhorse Publications as the book is now out of print.

The group normally takes place on the 3rd Saturday (2-4 pm) of every other month and is open to anyone, by donation. You can make a contactless donation via the donation points in the Centre foyer. We recommend a donation of £15 - £25 for this event.

Please be aware that none of the classes/events run by the Cambridge Buddhist Centre is aimed at under 18-year-olds. All under 18-year-olds must be accompanied by their parent or another responsible adult over the age of 18 (with their parent's permission). Please contact us in advance of attending at info@cambridgebuddhistcentre.com so we can assess how suitable the event is for the young person.
