There's magic in turning what we carry into words. Writing as Alchemy is a gentle, guided session in creative writing, journalling, poetry and microstories; an intimate space to explore expression and emotional processing through the pen and paper.

Settle in with a cuppa and something sweet from Chai Chai Teahouse as you write, reflect and let the words move through you. No experience necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to show up and be witnessed as you are.

You'll leave this workshop with a journal and pen of your own, and (hopefully) some inspiration so the practice can continue long after our session ends.

A mental health accredited social worker will be joining us for the session, think of them as our emotional fairy godmother. This isn't a therapy session and isn't designed to be a big emotional excavation or catharsis, but writing can sometimes stir things up when we least expect it, and we want you held and supported if it does.

Included:

Guided writing session exploring poetry, journalling and short/microstories

Tea/Coffee and a treat from Chai Chai Teahouse

Your own journal and pen to keep

Please note that you DO NOT need to call yourself a "writer" or consider yourself creative in any way to join us for this workshop. Everyone has a story to tell and your words matter, so let this space help you bring them out onto the page.
