Larunda Sings - Giving voice to untold stories![]() This workshop is offered in Bangalow through the Kindred Women Together initiative. In this workshop we will explore the power of words and stories to shape our identity, our behaviour, and our dreams. We will learn about the tools writers use to create narrative, and how these same tools can be used to give voice to our own stories, both fictional and true. Topics covered include:
morning tea. Places are strictly limited. Once registered, you will be emailed a welcome letter and an outline of the workshop. And just in case you’re wondering – Larunda was a naiad nymph In Ovid’s Fasti (a six book Latin poem he wrote over 2,000 years ago)). She was a beautiful and very talkative nymph who fell out with a couple of characters (most notably the god Jupiter, after she told his wife that he was having an affair). Long story short, Jupiter ordered Larunda’s tongue be cut out and that she be sent to the Underworld as punishment…. When: Wednesday 2 December, 9.30am - 2.30pm Where: Bangalow RSL Hall, 13-15 Station St, Bangalow Cost: $135 per person (to register and pay click here) Re Write Your StoryWe each have core narratives we carry within us, stories that trace the arc of our lives and define who we are. But what if we’re more than the combined total of our collected stories? And what if we could rewrite the stories which brought us here, and then use those stories to cast a richer future?
This short course of six workshops will focus on both the fundamentals of creative writing and power of internalised stories. Participants will learn how to use the stories of their own lives as the basis from which to shape credible characters, build tension, and develop narrative arcs that are captivating and transformative. They will also learn how to edit and polish their work, using the drafting process to build skills, confidence, and resilience. These workshops will focus on the joy of writing and the power of stories.
