Writing for wellbeing is different from creative writing. It's about finding your way to tell your story for yourself. Writing down your thoughts can be a way of getting them out of your head, and in this session we will explore using stories and poems to shape your words. You don't need to be a confident writer, this is about writing to please yourself. Jarek Adams will welcome you to this friendly introductory session. No experience needed.
