I started Christian Poets Fellowship because Christians with a gift of poetry need to know how special and important their gifting is and how God can use it to deliver, heal, encourage, challenge and inspire people, bringing them into closer realtionship with Christ. The purpose of the group is to encourage and help promote Christian poetry throughout the UK. Any Christian poet can join and be part of the group.

My names Alisha.Hello and Welcome to The Cosmopolitan London Society!! This group is for all who are looking to rebuild or refresh their social lives with new friends! Please note: There is a  small £2+ charge per event

I believe that poetry, short stories and drama can make an impact in spreading the Christian ethos to the wider community and would like to meetup with other writers who beleive that the Christian message can come alive in a challenging and relevent way and reach a new audience that don't yet know the presence of God in their lives. I live in North East London and would love to her from other writers who share the same vision.

Sharing the Solitude of Writing This group was inspired by the London Writing Together group and is for people in or near Brighton who write or who seriously want to. The format is simple: a host organises a session anywhere comfortable, e.g. in a café or peaceful pub, in their lounge, or maybe in a random nearby village. We then write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. We work on our own and set our own targets. What you write is up to you. The whole point is: you are not alone in the creative proce …

This is a ticket into the world of unconscious, of unimaginable imagination and out-of-borders inspiration. If you wish to write, this is your first stop.

You may just have a funny story to share, fictional or true with the rest of the group. If you just want to come along and hopefully be entertained, again that is absolut …

I see the human body as an infinite source of creativity. Inside. Outside. Sensations. Expression. My body is my home, the home for my soul, for a terrestrial time.

And expressing those images, may it be through painting, movement, poetry, sound, story telling or any other medium that comes to me. "Art is no merely concerned with great artists, with genious, or with prodigious skills. It is, fundamentally, th …
