The Writing Room is a monthly co-writing space in the heart of Athlone. Through yoga, guided visualisation and spacious writing time, we create an intimate community for writers who are working on long-term projects such as novels, poetry or short story collections, theatre or film scripts, memoir or academic theses.

Through yoga we connect deeply with the body, and breath. Then we offer a guided visualisation that deepens one’s awareness with the body and where and how the story one is working on, may be living and moving in their body. From this place of deep connection to the body and the story itself, writers then quietly work on their respective projects for an extended period of time.

During Open Book Workshop Week, we invite writers who are starting or working on long-term projects to join us, for a 4-hour session to experience The Writing Room for yourselves.

Please be sure to wear comfortable clothing.
