Poetry for Wellbeing
10th November 2023, 1.30pm-4pm
Fisherton Mill Workshop Studios
Poetry is a powerful tool that allows us to explore and communicate the joys and challenges that shape our lives. Poetry for Wellbeing draws upon the power of words to create insights, growth and healing. A simple prompt can inspire imagination and self-expression to flow freely. During this workshop, you will be provided with the tools to unlock your imagination and explore your own experiences through cathartic creative writing.
No prior knowledge of poetry is required; you simply need a willingness to reflect and experiment with words. There is no obligation to share your work but group discussion will be encouraged to nurture wellbeing, creativity, confidence and self-expression.
