Step away from the noise and reconnect with yourself through a calming blend of mindfulness and creativity in the serene gardens of Fulham Palace Museum.

Join us for a gentle walking meditation followed by a guided creative writing session designed to awaken your senses, deepen your awareness, and inspire personal reflection. As we move slowly through the lush grounds of this historic riverside estate, you’ll be invited to observe, listen, and feel the natural world with fresh attention.

Writing in response to the beauty around you can help clarify thoughts, reduce stress, and spark insight. Whether you’re an experienced writer or simply curious, this is a safe, supportive space to explore your voice and reconnect with nature’s quiet wisdom.

This event is a collaboration with Way Wive Wordz, and Fulham Palace Museum.No writing experience needed. Just bring a notebook, an open mind, and a willingness to pause.Booking is essential

Dr. Asantewa, an award-winning author and community activist, will guide the session, helping you explore mindfulness, nature, and self-expression through writing.

Dr Michelle Asantewa,

Dr Michelle Yaa Asantewa was born in Guyana. At age 10, she migrated to the UK to reunite with her mother. Her interest in African traditional spiritual practices and cultural identity prompted her to do a PhD on the Guyanese Komfa ritual.

She formerly lectured in English Literature, Editing and Creative Writing at London Metropolitan University and currently facilitates a range of writing workshops as an independent scholar. She is also co-tutor on The Amazing James Baldwin course and the African Women Resistance leaders: Political and Spiritual course. She is a member of the African Odysseys Steering Committe which has been showing educational, anti-racist Africa diaspora films at the BFI Southbank until, after 17 years, the BFI cancelled the monthly series against the wishes of the Black community.

She co-founded Way Wive Wordz Publishing, Editing and Tuition services through which she has published her first novel, Elijah and The Awakening and Other Poems and the more recent titles – her PhD Thesis, Guyanese Komfa: the ritual art of trance, Mama Lou Tales: a folkloric biography of a Guyanese elder and Something Buried in the Yard (an extracted novella from her PhD) were launched in July 2016. She writes a regular blog – Way Wive Wordz .
