Atelier Ecriture
avec Ariane Payen
Ariane a longtemps travaillé dans la production de dessins animés avant de se consacrer à l’écriture. Elle est autrice de cinq romans, scénariste (primée par un Emmy Award Kids pour La cabane à histoires) et co-créatrice du Tarot de l’écrivain, un jeu littéraire pour libérer l’imaginaire. Formée à l’animation d’ateliers d’écriture, elle accompagne depuis 2009 les passionnés d’histoires via l’ASBL Le Choc des Mots, en ligne et en présentiel.
“Plongez dans votre roman et mettez du soleil dans votre écriture – 5 jours d’écriture guidée en résidentiel"
Programme :
Vous avez une idée de roman qui vous habite depuis longtemps ?
Ou un manuscrit en cours qui réclame du temps, de la clarté, un vrai coup d’accélérateur ?
Cet atelier résidentiel est conçu comme une parenthèse précieuse pour vous consacrer pleinement à votre projet, dans un cadre idyllique et stimulant.
Guidé·e par des consignes claires, vous alternerez temps d’écriture, apports théoriques, échanges collectifs et même un temps d’accompagnement individuel. Que vous soyez au début de votre aventure ou déjà en pleine écriture, ces 5 jours sont là pour faire décoller (ou redéployer) votre roman.
Le programme en 5 étapes :
Jour 1 – Le projet et son ancrage personnel
Présentation du projet et de son lien avec l’auteur. Définir le cœur de l’histoire, son univers, son décor, ses intentions. Structurer ses envies autour de quatre axes : intrigue, structure, personnages, style.
Jour 2 – Le personnage principal et sa constellation
Explorer la complexité du ou de la protagoniste : ses forces, ses failles, ses désirs, ses peurs. Identifier ses alliés, ses adversaires, et les personnages ambivalents qui gravitent autour de lui.
Jour 3 – La structure narrative selon les Grenouilles payennes
Découverte d’un schéma de structuration original proposé par l’animatrice pour donner souffle, rythme et cohérence à l’histoire.
Jour 4 – Donner à voir et faire entendre
Un semi-marathon d’écriture dédié aux scènes visuelles, au dialogue, à l’incarnation. L’occasion de faire avancer concrètement votre texte.
Jour 5 – Diagnostic & élans pour la suite
Temps d’analyse du chemin parcouru, partage collectif, mini-coaching individuel. Bilan et pistes pour continuer à écrire, une fois l’atelier terminé.

5 Days, 5 Senses – Inspirational Writing Retreat
A journey of writing from the senses. An experience of creating with the land.
Step away from the noise and immerse yourself in five days of focused creativity at the Andalusian countryside. This retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect with your senses, and let nature guide your writing. Through taste, smell, touch, sight, and sound, you’ll explore new ways of seeing—and writing.
Experience candle-lit dinners, early morning writing rituals, and golden hour walks. You’ll harness your creativity through inspirational literature, on-site sensory prompts, and tailored writing exercises designed to help you write from, with, and through your senses. In a warm, inspiring atmosphere, you’ll be encouraged to experiment with your writing voice and connect deeply with the natural elements around you.
Our time together includes a visit to the village of Gaucin, where you’ll be invited to observe, reflect, and write in response to the surroundings. Evenings bring shared meals and relaxed conversations that nourish both body and imagination.
Our journey includes:
• Guided writing prompts and exercises rooted in nature and literature
• Immersive writing sessions inspired by the five senses
• Candle-lit dinners and slow moments to savor
• Quiet time to reflect, write, and connect with nature
• A visit to Gaucin with space to write on-site
• A supportive creative community and personalized feedback
