The focus in this group is on the process of writing, and less so on the final ‘product'. In this way, Writing for Wellbeing differs from Creative Writing groups where the writing produced/in-progress is the focus of peer feedback.

Instead,these workshops provide a supportive,nurturing and confidential space, to engage in a range of enjoyable writing activities, using a blend of creative, expressive and reflective writing approaches, including poetry, fiction, quotes, images and other mixed media, as ‘writing prompts’.

Participants are then invited to share- extracts of their writing and/or reflections on the writing process and/or theme of the workshop, but are not obligated to so, and are certainly not coerced to share anything unless they feel comfortable to do so.

No formal writing experience is needed, just a willingness to give writing a go!
