On the evening of Saturday 26 August, please join us for an illuminating conversation with Hilton Koppe—writer, educator, podcaster and doctor—at Hudson Street Hum in Hamilton. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
In conversation with Hunter Writers’ Centre’s director, Katherine McLean, Hilton discusses his healing journey after a diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and how reflective writing practice helped him to process the challenging and emotional experiences of working as a small-town doctor. We’ll discuss how he self-published his book, One Curious Doctor, which is now enjoying a second-release with publishing house Wakefield Press.
Hilton is a wise, vibrant, and compassionate teacher of reflective writing practice, which he has shared with hundreds of people in workshops around the world.
This conversation precedes a reflective writing workshop on Sunday between 10am – 1pm at Studio Amsterdam in Maitland.
