About this Event
Write Yourself to Wellness
Explore • Reflect • Express • Connect
Your story matters, even the chapters you haven't found the words for yet.
We're delighted to welcome back Write Yourself to Wellness, a creative writing for wellbeing group brought to you by Focus & Flow CIC and facilitated by the lovely Shirley.
Sometimes, putting pen to paper gives us the opportunity to slow down, explore our thoughts, discover our creativity and see things from a different perspective.
But this group is about so much more than writing.
It's about connection, friendship, laughter, reflection and having a welcoming space where you can simply be yourself.
What can you expect?
Each session offers an opportunity to explore different styles of writing in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Together, we may explore:
- Creative writing and storytelling
- Journalling and personal reflection
- Poetry and different writing styles
- Memories, experiences and future aspirations
- Creative exercises to encourage imagination and self-expression
There is no right or wrong way to write, and you don't need any previous experience.
You won't be expected to share anything personal unless you feel comfortable doing so.
Why writing for wellbeing?
Writing can be a wonderful way to create space for reflection, explore emotions and develop greater self-awareness.
Research into expressive writing suggests it may offer modest benefits for emotional wellbeing, although everyone's experience is different.
Our previous sessions brought people together through shared creativity, meaningful conversations, laughter and sometimes tears.
Whether you're rediscovering a love of writing, hoping to begin something new or simply looking for a little time for yourself, we'd love to welcome you.
Who is this for?
Everyone aged 18 and over is welcome.
You don't need to consider yourself a writer. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to explore.
Come on your own, bring a friend or meet new people along the way.

We look forward to welcoming familiar faces and new ones as we begin another chapter together. Every Session, A New Chapter 📖
No two sessions are quite the same!
At Write Yourself to Wellness, we explore a different writing genre, theme or subject at each gathering.
From storytelling and poetry to memories, imagination, personal reflection and exploring future possibilities, every session offers a fresh opportunity to discover your creativity.
Guided by Shirley, you'll be encouraged to experiment with words, explore different perspectives and enjoy writing in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Some sessions may bring laughter, others may encourage deeper reflection, and all offer opportunities for creativity and connection.
No previous writing experience is needed, and there's no pressure to share your work or anything personal.
Come for one session or join us every fortnight. Each gathering is an experience in its own right.
With love, Focus & Flow 💚
