Do you enjoy writing, walking or nature?
Are you looking for ways to relax, destress and feel joy?
Step into the great outdoors and meet yourself on a page on our Wild Writing Walk through a stunning woodland and nature park in Alsager.
Take a leisurely stroll around Wilbraham Woods, Borrow Pit Meadows, and Salt Line, and you'll discover how walking and writing together can unlock new perspectives and bring a sense of calm to your busy life.
Your guide Anna, from Writing with Purpose, will lead you through gentle journalling exercises designed to connect you with your surroundings through all five senses.
Afterwards, join us to reflect on your experience over refreshments at the Wilbraham Arms pub (optional).
No previous writing experience needed—just curiosity and comfortable shoes!

👋 Hi, I'm Anna, founder of Writing with Purpose, a purpose-led company that combines creative writing with personal growth.
With a Master’s in Creative Writing and Wellbeing, training in counselling skills, and specialised certifications in journalling and ecopsychology, I help people transform their lives through the power of written words.
Currently, I'm crafting my first thriller novel while leading monthly online journalling sessions and in-person workshops. Since launching Writing with Purpose, I've guided participants through six immersive journalling workshops, helping them unlock their potential through writing.
With over two decades of experience as a copywriter and content creator, I've evolved my practice to focus on wellness and nature-based writing. My approach combines professional writing expertise with evidence-based wellbeing practices, supported by a Diploma in Journal Therapy, a CACHE L2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and training in ecopsychology.
I'm on a mission to share the transformative power of writing with 100,000 people over the next decade. Through Writing with Purpose, I offer a unique blend of nature connection and personal development through words. Whether you seek emotional clarity, creative expression, or a deeper connection with the natural world, my approach provides practical tools for meaningful change.
To deepen my knowledge of journalling facilitation, I am currently studying Kathleen Adams’s Journal to the Self Instructor Certification Training Programme through the Center for Journal Therapy.
