Shut Up & Write!® Waterloo, Friday evenings - Auberge pub
Join us for a weekly session of friendly and focused writing time. From 6pm every Friday:
We'll be at the Auberge pub, across road from Waterloo. See full location info for how to find us. There'll be a sign at our table.
\*(Please see full access info, further down.)
......
* We shut up for 1 hour of scheduled focus time - 6.30 to 7.30. ...Then time to chat or carry on at your preference.
This is for writing of any description or experience level. Somewhere to get on with your own work, and connect with new people.
Most importantly to not feel isolated in your pursuits, however big or small.
i.e. If you're looking to further your writing interests; and for a comfortable social space; ...or just need somewhere to sit and focus before you go home on a Friday - you're welcome to stop by.
Please RSVP to give us an idea of who is coming / how many.
........
**6:00pm - 6:30pm**
* Find our table and grab a seat. Plus any food or drink.
* We'll take 5-10 minutes to say who we all are, and welcome anyone new.
* (No need to say what you're working on, but feel welcome to).
**6.30pm - 7.30pm**
* No talking. One hour.
* You can leave the table at any point.
* Anyone arriving late feel free to find a seat, we'll give you a silent wave. You won't get glared at!
**7.30pm**
Once 'Shut Up' time is over:
* You are welcome to head off straight away, no pressure to stick around.
* You are welcome to stay to chat with other members, as late as you wish.
* Or you're welcome to just keep writing - if you're in the zone, no need to stop just because others have.
The time is for you, to get the most benefit.
.

**A note about the format**
We don’t host readings and feedback. (But we can signpost to events that do).
Whether you're writing for a professional goal, academic project, private thoughts and wellbeing, or purely casual enjoyment, (or still deciding!) - don't worry we won't be asking each other to share details.
You can just arrive, make yourself comfortable with anything you need, and get on with whatever you decide.
No-one will be reading your work or judging if you've met targets. We don't set group goals and deadlines: we're just here to help each other with our own - where needed.
Or to switch off and talk about something else completely, if you need that instead!
This is a social event and aimed at bringing new people together. Not just a co-working space.
**Respect**
Please also note our Code of Conduct: [www.shutupwrite.com/code-of-conduct](https://www.shutupwrite.com/code-of-conduct)
...And be aware this is an informal event open to adults of all ages and backgrounds.
i.e. We expect everyone who attends will treat each other with appropriate respect and awareness, and feel able to interact comfortably.
Any concerns don't hesitate to raise them with us.

Some tracks may be muddy and slippery. On occasion wild,domestic and farm animals may also encountered. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.

Reading group: “Give me a lab and I will raise the world” by Bruno Latour
Exactly thirty years ago, Alan Sokal published his famous hoax, intensifying the “Science Wars” and criticising postmodern thinkers such as Bruno Latour and Jaques Derrida for their interpretations of science. The Science Wars represent an attempt, perhaps an unsuccessful but nonetheless meaningful one, at establishing a dialogue between philosophy and the natural sciences.
In this iteration of the Philosophy of Life Sciences Reading Group we’ll revisit this moment by returning to one of Latour’s early engagements with science: his essay “Give me a laboratory and I will raise the world”. Here, Latour views the lab not as an isolated, “sacred” space, but as a powerful site which transforms the invisible into visible, not a passive observer but something that actively reshapes reality. Are scientific facts constructed? What is a scientific truth?
Anyone from any background is welcome! If you’d like the pdf or to ask any question feel free to drop me a message. Please don’t worry too much about the RSVP list: we usually have 5-10 people attending already.
Day of Poetry: A Full Day of Writing + Eating + Drinking + A Free Book !

Hi there ✨
Whoever you are, you're warmly invited to join us for a full-day poetry workshop ✍️ with food & drink 🍴☕🍷, a pub quiz 🧠, and plenty of space to say something true, something strange, something yours 🌿
Together, we'll be writing poetry, one of the oldest, strangest, and most surprisingly honest ways we have of telling the truth about being alive.
From Ted Hughes to **Sylvia Plath**, to **Sonia Sanchez**, **Pablo Neruda**, **Rainer Maria Rilke**, **Stanley Kunitz**, **Claudia Rankine** and **Ocean Vuong**, poetry keeps showing up, and keeps telling the truth.
This day isn't just about reading or analysing those poets (though we'll do a little of that). We'll also be having our own go at writing new poems, using three ideas as our lens: **nature, city life, and the inner self**.
By the end of the day, you'll leave with some fresh drafts, images, and lines to take home and develop in your own time.
**What do we mean by Day of Poetry? 🤔**
We'll be writing through three territories that poets have always returned to:
* **Nature -** What does the organic world outside us reveal about the world within?
* **City life -** How do we find language for the crowd, the commute, the stranger on the platform...?
* **The inner self -** Exploring grief, longing, memory, wonder, what are we carrying, and what happens when we put it into words?
We'll read short extracts from some of the poets named above, then use them as springboards for our own guided writing exercises.
No dogma. No right answers. Just curiosity, attention, and honest language. 🌿
**So, what's the plan? 🗓️**
* Arrive at Finch's Pub for teas/coffees ☕ and a gentle warm-up writing session ✍️
* Settle into reading, conversation, supported exploration, and lots more writing 💬
* Break for lunch 🥗 at the pub
* Dive back in for an afternoon of deeper writing and creative experiments 🌀
**What's included? 🎁**
* A full day of poetry workshops & exercises ✨
* Tea or coffee to start ☕
* Lunch at Finch's Pub 🥗
* A drink of your choice in the afternoon 🍻🍷🥤
* A free Penguin mini modern classic book!
* Thoughtful literary handouts 📄
**What do you need to bring? 🎒**
* Yourself 🙌
* A pen & pad 🖊️📓 (or a laptop 💻 if you prefer)
**Our style 🌱**
We create a friendly, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere 💜 Everybody is welcome. No experience necessary 🌈
There's no pressure to share or perform in front of the group 🙅 You can take part quietly, actively, or anywhere in between.
If you have any doubts or questions, feel free to text me on 📱 +44 (0) 7534 981 636 and I'll do my best to help.
Warm wishes 🌞,
Sean (A Write & a Pint)

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
