Creative Writing & Reflective Awareness Sessions

  • The Heart II

    Exploring how we place our kindling, build a fire - acknowledge the courage we sometimes need to act and where we locate it.

    For those valuing self reflection

  • The Heart I

    Chances to uncover the secret chambers of the heart, to melt into forgotten or long buried longings.

    For those valuing self reflection

  • A Seat at the Table

    An invitation to explore the fundamental need as well as the exquisite desires to belong. My own nomadic experiences through the extended family in childhood and life in different continents as an adult have intrigued me and my sense of belonging. We will open with a simple body awareness to step into an embodied experience of writing, use poems, aspects of the wild world as well as recollections of family dynamics. A chance to gently explore our experiences of belonging, help us into a reflective process and to create narratives in various forms. Small group activities to share the process or the writing.

    For those valuing self reflection

  • The Promise

    Exploring the unspoken promise of ‘mother’

    Gentle explorations into the idea of an unspoken promise around the role of mother. What society may anticipate for us either as a mother or from our mother. The unspoken assumptions and expectations from ourselves and others within the role.
