Workshops for Self-Discovery

Our current workshop series is Writing for Self-Discovery: therapeutic creative writing workshops. Sarah Richings and Lucy Watt have been delivering these workshops in London and, more recently, online (via Zoom).

Therapeutic writing in groups can be a powerful way of exploring our own feelings and experiences, and having these witnessed by others.

In these workshops, we provide you with writing prompts and encourage you to write freely in response to these. We focus on areas such as relationships, childhood memories and life transitions. You do not need to be skilled or experienced in creative writing to take part, you just need an openness to the process as it unfolds. The writing exercises often lead to areas of personal surprise or revelation, as an area of self-knowing that was out of our awareness emerges.

There are opportunities to share your writing, or your experience of doing the exercises, with your fellow participants in these workshops and to experience the powerful connection with yourself and with others that can emerge as a result of this process.

Other opportunities:

We can also design Writing for Self-Discovery workshops for companies and organisations, for example to help teams who are working remotely during the pandemic maintain contact and bonds at a time where they are physically distanced. We are both experienced bereavement counsellors and can run workshops on the theme of grief if needed. Please get it touch if this might be of interest and we can design a series of workshops to suit your team.
