Autumn online depth writing workshop
Event Details

Event Description
Depth writing is a transformational practice grounded in Jungian psychology combining journaling & creative writing that’s focused on nurturing depth of connection with your deep creative self. This online depth writing workshop will be a chance to press pause on the busyness of life to reflect on your self experience through the symbolism of Autumn. The workshop will include specially designed guided writing prompts, small group discussions. As the focus of depth writing is on process and on what comes up in the writing, rather than craft, there will never be any pressure to read anything out (although you can if you wish).
Who is it for?
Creative & therapeutic practitioners, seekers & inner explorers who are on a journey of self-discovery and who are comfortable with diving deeper.
Workshop Guidelines
Throughout the workshop you’ll be invited to:
Take responsibility for your experience by working with the material in a way that feels right for you
Avoid over-disclosing any matter that is particularly private or painful
Consider where you might seek outside support if anything difficult comes up
Practice CARE – confidentiality, attention, respect & empathy – with others

A pen for the past, the now and the future: How to navigate life’s losses – and gains – through writing with Lottie Williams
How can writing about the fragility of previous life experiences connect with who we are today, and how we can write in the current? What power does this hold in being able to express ourselves with more confidence and clarity in the future?
In this session, I shall reflect on how I first came to writing as a tool for my mental health, allowing me to name and understand traumatic past experiences and feel my way through the climate and ecological emergency. Consequently, I shall discuss how the arts have positively challenged and supported changes I have made in my life.
Though short writing prompts and discussion, I shall also invite participants to consider these connections for themselves.

Using prose excerpts, poetry, images and other prompts, this group invites you to explore your inner and outer worlds through writing. Sharing your writing is always optional but the invitation is there to share and discuss your writing or discoveries with others if this is something you would like to do.
