Poetry & Mindfulness Uplift

“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it isn’t open.” Frank Zappa

These sessions are a positive creative boost for your writing & yourself: four short 45min sessions of poetry and mindfulness once a week over 4 weeks.

Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress and improve well-being, clarity, happiness, memory, focus AND creativity. It can bring more depth of awareness, emotion, empathy, experience, senses, detail and truth into your writing.

These uplifting sessions are a fresh start to the day in the UK, Each session focuses on a theme related to well being, with a prompt or two for writing. Writing with mindfulness gives your writing a refreshing edge.

WHO is it for? It's for those who want some time out from our busy lives (probably most of us). Plus those interested in mindfulness and/or poetry or writing. Explore techniques to recharge your wellbeing and creativity.

It was my first time experimenting with meditation and writing – I feel I accessed something different in my writing, more open, more wise and expansive. I really looked forward to each session and reflected on them as they resonated throughout the month.

'I enjoyed the sessions and am discovering various ways in which the meditations have begun to affect me. I think I have gained a more positive outlook which is also beginning to show in my writing – that I'm even doing some writing is a real achievement as recently I often feel lacking in focus and motivation.
