Nature Writing For Wellbeing Circle

How about writing through the seasons, in supportive company? With biscuits and cake? 

From April to July 2024, we'll use inspiration from nature and the spring to summer transitions to prompt reflective writing in a range of forms. This is all about slowing down, noticing our inner and outer worlds and enjoying time outdoors.  The benefits of both time in green space and writing are well documented for wellbeing: a perfect combination for creativity and personal discovery.  

The circle is facilitated by Gayle Johnson, a writer and group facilitator with lots of experience running friendly, creative sessions. The focus will be on letting the writing happen, rather than developing 'creative writing techniques' and critiquing each other - whatever you write is right for that moment!

You do not need to 'be a writer' to be part of the circle - our mantra is 'you can't write it wrong'. It's all about seeing what happens and doing something for you in a beautiful setting.

Here's what previous participants said:

These sessions have been absolutely beautiful, nourishing and enriching. Gayle is an inclusive, kind and sensitive facilitator who creates a safe, warm, welcoming space without pressure.

The space to simply be in nature, and write and dream has been a source of such calm, joy and inspiration in my life. 

These sessions gave me a huge sense of accomplishment, despite there being no pressure to be good, or share anything we didn't want to. 

There are 4 sessions running monthly from April - July, from 9.30 -11.30 on Tuesday mornings.

The dates are:

9 April, 7 May, 11 June, 2 July.

Pay as you feel places available. Payment plans available. Just ask at hello@gaylejohnsonwriter.com

Individual sessions will be available to book at £25. As this is about developing a writing practice through the seasons, priority for places will go to people who book the block of 4.
