Therapeutic Creative Writing Group: "Writing the Unheard Self"

An informal, friendly, online therapeutic creative writing group (of no more than 8 participants). No writing experience necessary.

Please join the waitlist if the event has sold out.

Theme: Writing the Unheard Self - finding a voice for our quieter parts through words

(This workshop is also available online on the first Sunday of the month, 4.30-6.30pm via Zoom)

This ongoing monthly therapeutic/expressive writing group is for anyone who enjoys (or thinks they might enjoy) writing for pleasure or to develop self-awareness, self-understanding and self-connection. Using prose excerpts, poetry, images and other prompts, this group invites you to explore your inner and outer worlds through writing. Sharing your writing is always optional but the invitation is there to share and discuss your writing or discoveries with others.

The aim of the workshop is to enable participants to enhance their well-being through emotional expression and illumination. Why not make a date with yourself on the first Sunday of the month, to enhance your sense of well-being and self-connection through writing?

What you will need: By all means bring a favourite notebook and pen but paper and pens will be provided.

Please note: these workshops are for adults aged 18 and over. Refunds are only available up to 7 days before the event.
