This event is part of the Yorkshire Festival of Story.
What does it take to come back from burnout? When life falls apart, how do you find your way back to yourself?
In this deeply personal and moving event, Wendy Bowers shares her journey from breakdown to healing through walking, writing and reflection.
Drawing from her book Words, Walks, Wisdom, Wendy takes us into the quiet moments of change: the countryside paths where she reclaimed her peace, the poems that gave voice to her pain, and the honest insights that came from caring for others while losing sight of herself. You’ll hear readings from her work, gain insight into the healing power of nature, and find your own permission to pause, reflect and restore.
If you’re navigating your own pressures or simply seeking space to breathe, this is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and wisdom often walks beside us when we slow down enough to listen.
