Welcome to Winter: A reflective writing group for the winter months.

Welcome to Winter.

A reflective writing group in Hastings running monthly throughout the winter.

This two-hour monthly group session is facilitated by Helen Gilbert, psychotherapist, writer and group facilitator, focusing on writing exercises designed to reflect on the winter hours. We will meet on Fridays from 11-1 starting 14 Nov, then throughout the winter on 12 Dec, 16 Jan, and finishing on 20 Feb. 

The aim is to discover how you can get more out of your writing and how your writing can get more out of you.  It is a small group limited to 8 spaces.

This will be a supportive and encouraging group space, interested in the process of writing and what we see reflected back in ourselves. We hope to create some beautiful writing along the way.

“I wish great welcome to the snow, whatever it’s severe and comfortless and beautiful meaning”

(Mary Oliver).

The winter can be a dark, cold and lonely time. It can also be a time to gather together for warmth to take stock, examine what’s there in the dark, and remember, or discover afresh, who we are.

There will be time to write in the session and share our work with one another. Everyone who wants to develop a reflective writing practice is welcome, whether or not you already have a regular writing practice.

Come and write together with a small group of others, develop a practice of reflective writing that supports your own wellbeing.

We will be meeting at Hastings Therapy Centre. Please be aware that we do not have wheelchair accessible therapy rooms. See link below for details on finding us and accessibility.
