Writing for Self Discovery
Use creative writing prompts to learn more about yourself, improve your relationships, and find greater peace and fulfilment
About the group
Writing for Self-Discovery is a weekly group that uses creative writing exercises to explore ourselves, our experiences, and our relationships in a supportive and reflective setting.
There is no pressure to be “good” at writing—this group is open to all abilities.
We use structured prompts and exercises to support expression and reflection. These may include descriptive writing, prompts, working with objects, short stories, poetry, and other creative approaches.
The group is designed to be enjoyable, thought-provoking, gently challenging, and connecting.
There is nothing academic or intimidating about the sessions, and no previous writing experience is needed. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to explore your own experiences and try something new.
Everything is optional—the value of the group lies in coming together, sharing (if you wish), and getting to know ourselves and others more deeply in a supportive space.
Who is it for?
This group is open to all adults (18+), and no previous writing experience is required.
You may already enjoy creative writing or language, or you may simply be curious about using writing as a way to reflect on your life, relationships, and experiences.
If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch to discuss it.
