Small-group, non-academic writing workshop led by Felicia to explore thoughts and emotions and reduce stress, drawing on the idea that 'writing is medicine'.
Writing for Wellbeing is a guided writing workshop at The Quaker Centre on Saturday 21 November, running from 10:00 for two hours. It's a restorative, non-academic session, so you don't need to be a writer or have any experience with the form to join in. The whole thing is built as a safe, small-group space to explore ideas, thoughts and emotions and to reduce stress, drawing on Julia Cameron's idea that 'writing is medicine'.
Because it's not academic, the focus is on the process rather than the product. You'll be working through guided prompts to get things down on paper, and the group is kept small—eight to ten people—so it stays quiet and manageable. One of the best bits is that no one is required to share or read out their work; what you write stays with you unless you choose otherwise.
The session is led by Felicia, a Nutritionist and Stress Management Trainer who writes for health and wellbeing magazines. She brings two different perspectives to the table: the practical side of stress management and the creative side of writing, so the prompts are designed around wellbeing rather than literary technique.
