Question 1

Is this an ongoing group?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each workshop works as a stand-alone event but there is a series of them, each taking place on the first Sunday of the month between 4.30pm-6.30pm.

Question 2

Is this a therapy group?

Accepted Answer

No. The hope is that participants will gain therapeutic benefit from the workshops but this is not a therapy group and there is never a requirement to share your writing or how you are feeling if that’s not right for you.

Question 3

What sort of themes will be explored in the workshops?

Accepted Answer

The workshops provide an opportunity to connect to our emotions and express them, so the themes will include things like: love, self-acceptance, belonging, meaning, identity, hope,  impermanence and loss, regret, kindness, courage...anything and everything that connects us to our being human.
