Nature as Inspiration: Writing for Wellbeing Workshop (Enfield Poets Literary Festival)

Writing for wellbeing is a unique blend of creative, reflective and expressive writing and poetry therapy techniques. Participants will focus on the process, rather than the pressure of crafting a finished piece. No specialist experience needed, just pen, paper and a spirit of curiosity. Roshni will combine Nature and writing to take you on a 'virtual' trail, using printed images and other media, as reflective prompts or 'stops.' You will be invited to share your writing process and/or extracts of your writing, if you wish to do so, in a supported small group Please bring; • Paper or notebook • Pen or pencil • A small article from Nature to use in one of the writing exercises e.g. a stone, flower, leaf.
