- Do you enjoy getting to know yourself at a deeper level?
- Are you interested in how the process of creative writing can help you access self-truths you may have buried or hidden from yourself?
- Would you welcome the chance to work in a small, supportive group with accredited counsellors as facilitators
We are offering a series of online Writing for Self-Discovery workshops.
You don’t need to be experienced or skilled in creative writing to take part. You just need to be open to engaging with a process as it unfolds.
This workshop will involve writing creatively in response to different prompts given by the facilitators. This can help you experience how writing can be used to give you new perspectives and improve your wellbeing. Everyone has a unique voice and stories to tell. We encourage creative ways to express this in a safe and friendly environment. There is the option to read your work in the group or share your experience of writing.
Each workshop focuses on a different theme - for example journeys, time, windows, doors, childhood dreams.
The course will be facilitated by qualified and BACP registered counsellors, Sarah Richings and Lucy Watt.
Participants who have attended earlier workshops are welcome to attend. There will be different themes and exercises.
Please have a notebook and pen or pencil ready and join us from a private space where you cannot be overheard.
