Join Róisín Sheehy, dancer and writer at the Tea Houses for a walk and creative writing session. The session will commence with a short physical warm up at the studio allowing time to settle and connect with our environment. Róisín will lead a walk in silence along the river by engaging with our senses and imagination. With a view of Kilkenny Bridge we will pause to write. Following the walk there will be tea and coffee and an opportunity for participants to share their wordsmith if they wish.
