ChangeAware is pleased to offer an alternative approach to team building: a day's workshop on Poetry & Change with established poet James Harpur. During this day you will read and write poetry -- get to know yourself and your fellow team members better, develop your creative side and perhaps discover talents you were not aware of in yourself and others....

James Harpur is an experienced workshop leader who is friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and aims to create a supportive atmosphere in which people can express themselves to their greatest potential. He says:

"The fun and enchantment of poetry is all in the trying -- different approaches and techniques, listening to others, sharing your experience and reading the great poets of the past. This is the aim of my workshops: to start or further each person's journey in some way and open him or her up to the transforming possibilities of the imagination."

James Harpur hgas had three collections of poetry published by Anvil Press: A Vision of Comets (1993), The Monk's Dream (1996) and Oracle Bones (2001). He won first prize in the Poetry Society's National Competition in 1995 and is a facilitator with the Arvon Foundation, well known for its residential writing courses.
