Bite-size workshops

Coffee & Writing (Full)

I have ‘brewed’ a cheeky little workshop for you that puts you in a coffee shop on a Saturday morning. We will get creative with short exercises, inspiring group chats and lots of writing.

Sipping a latte while writing and sharing your stories with other writers is the perfect way to simulate that romantic Saturday mornin’ aroma. You might meet other writers along the way, even though we are on Zoom, pretending.

This workshop is offered to you in collaboration with Zoku.

Introduction Workshop

Do you want to write stories, a blog, poems or lyrics, but you don’t know how to start? Then this workshop is perfect for you. In 2 hours I tickle your writing brain and spark your creativity.
With easy exercises and plenty of writing you will be sure to end up with a full notebook and a smile on your face. In small groups of like-minded souls, I create a friendly and safe environment to carefully try out your first stories. And you might meet other writers along the way.
Keep an eye out for the next one!

Business Storytelling

Storytelling in business is a hot topic. But what is storytelling? What’s the difference between a formal text and a story? And most importantly: how do you engage the people reading it?
This two-hour workshop is packed with creative assignments and interesting group discussions, introducing you to storytelling and showing you how to apply it to your business.

Meditate & Write

Writing daily helps you let go and get rid of frustrations, it unveils useful insights and slows you down. Meditation moves you into an intuitive state of mind, making you write from a deeper level.
Blending these two forces together gives you a powerful tool to brainstorm, get unstuck or help you move forward in many more ways than you can imagine.
In this intimate workshop, we do exactly as the title suggests: we meditate and then we write. I give you clear instruction so you can let go, exhale and make yourself at home,
while your pen does all the work.

I didn't know what to expect, whether I would feel uncomfortable or under pressure. However, Talia made the environment super friendly to make us feel at ease and comfortable in our writing. The exercises used were super helpful, fun and useful. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to develop their skills, be more creative or just try something new.

How do the online workshops work?

The Bite-size workshops are held online for a while. This means you pay and sign up through Eventbrite as usual. You’ll receive a link to the online classroom through the same email you signed up with on eventbrite. Please, join us using a decent computer/tablet and make sure you are in a quiet space.

How big are the groups?

I take only 4 to 6 students per workshop to keep it comfortable and cosy. This means my workshops fill up fast so don’t wait too long to claim your creative spot!

Are the workshops in English?

Yes they are, but you can write in any language you want.
Helaas geef ik zelf geen les in het Nederlands omdat ik hier simpelweg niet genoeg aanmeldingen voor krijg. Wel ken ik goede schrijfdocenten en breng ik je graag met hen in contact. Ook kun je hier kijken voor schrijfcursussen in het hele land.

What do I need to bring?

Please, use a decent computer. Furthermore, a notebook, pen/pencil, a blank sheet of paper about the size of an A4 and a highlighter.

Can I do a workshop on a specific date?

If you know at least four other people who are interested, you can contact me, and we can arrange it.

If you are not sure which workshop suits you best,
simply contact me and we will figure it out together.
