About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

In a time of doom and distraction, is it hard to stay connected to your creativity and your inner kindness?

This online workshop series will use creative writing to explore how we can cultivate kinder language for ourselves.

Over four weeks, we will use writing prompts for reflection, imagination, playfulness and joy. There will be space for discussion and discovery, and we will connect with each other in a supportive setting on Zoom.

“Rose unlocked a level of creativity and connection that inspired new perspectives. A remarkable session from a remarkable poet."

Dennis Gillibrand, Vistage

Poet and creative practitioner Rose Condo will facilitate each session. With over 20 years’ experience running workshops, she brings kindness and compassion to every workshop she leads.

This workshop series is suitable for writers at any level of experience, particularly those who seek opportunities to keep creative, kind and connected.

“Rose always adapts her sessions to be at the right level so everyone can get involved.”

Helen Beesley, Manchester Libraries, Galleries & Culture
