A Dark Angels course is a journey into each individual's creative power-house; a journey guided by leading writers for business, by way of a series of structured exercises that focus on paired and group work as well as individual responses. Connecting personally with any kind of writing and the use of storytelling to get messages across are key components of the exercises.

Here are some nice things that participants said about the Dark Angels course held at Ty Newydd in March:

The course has proved invaluable in giving a new outlook and mindset in avoiding corporate speak and using creativity in work as well as spare time.

The impact has been huge. I feel invigorated, inspired and more confident in my creativity. The challenge will be applying it within the working environment.

It was excellent. It was challenging, engaging and inspirational. It worked very well because it was residential and at times we could continue working in a more relaxed environment. The tutors were very supportive and non threatening. We worked as a group, in pairs and on our own and we had time and space to work away from the group. Ty Newydd is the perfect venue for this kind of focused work.
