‘What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something loose knit and not slovenly, so elastic it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful that comes into my mind. I would like it to resemble some deep old desk, or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through.’
Virginia Woolf, A Writer’s Diary: Being Extracts from the Diary of Virginia Woolf
Freeing? Playful? Empowering? Reflective writing in the safety of a private journal is a good way to take a deeper, more imaginative look at life’s experiences. Not sure how to get started, or in need of support to keep a regular practice going? These monthly workshops will introduce you to a range of creative ideas for your own reflective journal, keeping you engaged and committed in a non-critical space. Each month’s workshop will offer inspiring themes and tools for reflection and expression – and opportunities to share with the group if you choose to. Join us to brighten and expand your writing practice in 2024.
January’s workshop offers a free ‘taster’ session. You are under no obligation, but if you enjoy the workshop you may register for the remaining eleven meetings here.
