Led by Isabella Millar.

Join emerging poet and writer Isabella Millar for a poetry workshop inspired by her Wiccan faith, the natural world and cycles of the seasons.

Isabella is a Pagan whose beliefs lie mainly in Wicca and a reverence to Mother Earth. She holds an MA in English Literature and Creative writing from the University of Dundee and is currently studying for a master’s degree in Creative Writing at the University of Stirling. Her poetry contains themes of nature, the self and the concept of blank space, and she places a high focus on the way that nature is expressed. In this workshop she will guide participants in composing poetry which relates to our place in the natural world and our connectedness to the earth’s cycles and rhythms.
