Creative Connections
Step away from your daily chores and lose yourself for a while in the creative process. Hosted and curated by Kate Oldfield, the Creative Connection cafés are an hour of curated conversation and prompts to give your creativity a boost and foster a sense of connection in a small and supportive community.
All are welcome, whether you are an accomplished or a reluctant writer – there is a place for everyone. Just come with a beginner’s mind.

Everyone. Whether you are a beginner (even if you consider yourself a reluctant writer), or a writer with lots of experience, these supportive sessions are full of opportunities to share our stories – or just listen and respond – which fosters deep sense of community. There are also freewriting exercises and inspiring prompts that anyone can approach from any level. Just come with an open mind.

“‘Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.’ ”
“‘I had never considered short-form writing as a creative outlet for myself before I joined Kate’s Creative Connections. But under her gentle, insightful and encouraging guidance, the sessions have been an inspiration. It’s wonderful to be in a group of supportive people from all different walks of life and experiences, and the time flies by. It is more than just connecting and being creative; Kate manages to bring out the magic in life and helps us see the world through refreshed eyes.’”
“‘Most of our childhood is stored not in photos, but in certain biscuits, lights of day, smells, textures of carpet.’”
