Autumn Reflections: A writing group.

Autumn Reflections

At a moment where life feels hectic and chaotic, this small, supportive group offers a gentle, guided space to explore writing as a form of grounding. Autumn invites us to slow down and notice change. These four sessions offer time to reflect through carefully chosen writing prompts and exercises, connecting with your experiences, thoughts, feelings and sense of self.

This is not a creative writing course, the focus is on using writing as a gentle way to explore your own thoughts and experiences and helping you to develop a reflective writing practice to help connect with self, the earth and others around us.

No prior writing experience is needed. Whether you write often or are just beginning, this group invites you to slow down, listen inwardly, and discover what emerges on the page.

Together, we’ll create a respectful and encouraging environment where each voice is welcome. We encourage you to share your writing or experience of writing but there is no pressure to do so.

We will meet on Fridays 2 Oct, 23 Oct, 13 Nov, 4 Dec from 11-12.45 at Hastings Therapy Centre.

This venue is not wheelchair accessible. Please contact me to let me know about any accessibility needs.
