Come play with words in our new Writing for Wellbeing workshop. Make time for yourself and discover your creativity. We’ll use language and themes from super short stories — Kincaid, Woolf, Saunders, Barthelme — as our starting point for writing, reflection, and dialogue.
Together, we will practise shared reading and use a blend of creative, expressive, and reflective writing approaches — flow writing, poetry making, metaphor, life writing — as writing prompts. In this supportive, confidential space, you will have the opportunity to share your writing, though you are never obliged to do so, as well as reflect on others’ writing.
No formal experience or preparation is needed, just a willingness to give writing a go! Simply bring a desire to share, reflect and experiment with words (and paper and pen). This workshop is about self-development rather than literary-development.
