Sylvia Ferguson is a DCU and Yoga Therapy Ireland graduate. Her classes are designed to leave you feeling grounded, inspired and calm.

The aim of this series is to engage readers into reading books which will help them dip their toes into writing through a facilitated process with experienced writers.

The writer talks about key texts/books and then facilitates the group through exercises which are fun and give new writers confidence to continue writing.

This session will be facilitated by Alan McMonagle who will discuss books from his diverse reading list.
