Castlemaine’s historic Buda House and gardens will be the venue for Innovative Resources’ brand new training session, The Literary Therapist, on September 13 to 15, 2010.

The sessions will be facilitated by Karen Masman and Russell Deal and this unique 3-day workshop is designed for all human service workers who are passionate about writing and of course those that would like to be more so!

This is creative writing for personal growth, healing and social change and as it will be the very first time it is run as part of the Innovative Resources curriculum, the Buda House venue promises to be very comfortable and inspiring.

Check out the training page on the Innovative Resources website for more info.
