Theme: Lighting Candles - exploring the light and dark of winter

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: Bring a very notebook if you like but paper and pens are provided.

Teas, coffees and biscuits (including vegan options) are also provided.

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