Writing for Wellbeing with Lottie Williams
Take a stroll with us around Glasbren at Lords Park Farm and bring the beauty and poetry of the land to life on the page, guided by local writer and practitioner Lottie Williams.
We can wander the willow beds, quietly slalom the orchard trees, cluck conversations with chickens, prop up fences, lie on the grass, shelter in polytunnels… or go wherever our attention is pulled, be it gently or wildly. By the end of this place writing for wellbeing session, you will feel a sense of connection and rooting between yourself, your pen, and the land.
Lottie, our facilitator, will guide you through a series of writing activities and discussions. In writing for wellbeing, the stimuli and activities act as vehicles to spark the imagination, and the writing activities act as tools in the process of thinking, feeling, and reflecting. There will be no expectation for you to share what you have written, and there will be no emphasis on the mechanics of spelling, punctuation or grammar. There is never a wrong write, and you are always welcome to follow your own creative path if something else is sparked.
We have two dates available:
AUTUMN 2026 - Mynd am Dro | Kicking the Leaves - Saturday 14th November, 2pm-5pm
SPRING 2027 - Crossing the Threshold - 20th February 2027, 2pm-5pm
Join us for one or both workshops. Booked together, they'll make the perfect reflective bookends to the Winter. The Writing for Wellbeing space is a wonderful way to bring our community together in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.
