Lapidus Magazine discovery session

Event Details

Event Description

Want to help shape the future of the Lapidus Magazine?

We’re hosting a friendly, informal open meeting for anyone curious about becoming a co-editor. This is an opportunity to find out what the role involves, how the editorial process works, and how you might contribute your skills, ideas, and perspective.

Whether you’re an experienced editor, a regular reader, or simply someone who cares about the magazine and the community it represents, you’re very welcome to join. We’ll share an overview of the role, what support is available, and the level of commitment involved, as well as hearing from those who have already expressed interest. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, explore possibilities, and decide whether this could be a good fit for you.

This is a no-pressure space to learn more, connect with others, and consider how you might get involved in shaping the next chapter of the magazine.

About the Lapidus Magazine

The Lapidus Magazine is our members’ publication, and showcases writing, ideas, and reflections from across the Lapidus community. It provides a space for thoughtful exploration of writing for wellbeing, creativity, and personal development, highlighting the diverse voices, experiences, and practices of its members.

As well as sharing articles, creative work, and insights, the Magazine helps foster connection within the community and supports the organisation’s wider mission. It offers contributors an opportunity to be published and heard, while giving readers access to rich, engaging content that reflects the breadth of work happening across Lapidus.

Co-editors play a key role in shaping each issue—working collaboratively to commission and select pieces, support contributors, and bring the publication together. It’s a chance to influence the direction of the magazine, nurture emerging voices, and contribute to a meaningful, creative project at the heart of the community.

A writing for wellbeing space for the neurodivergent community, and open to all.
Spend two hours engaging in gentle writing prompts and journalling activities. I’ll also share a poem, piece of writing or image/photography in each session for us to explore.
The format:
The first hour includes a short introduction, a warm-up writing prompt, and a shared poem. We’ll explore our emotional responses to it rather than literary analysis.
After a short 5-minute break, the final 55 minutes will offer a range of journalling prompts, with space to write, reflect, and (if you wish) share and explore what’s arisen.
I’m hoping this will become a monthly group. This first session is a chance to begin and see what unfolds.
Two free spaces are available for unwaged individuals. Please email for details.
Come as you are…
• Keep your camera off if that feels more comfortable
• No expectation to share anything you write
• You’re free to step away or leave early if needed (prompts can be sent after)
• Take breaks whenever your body or attention needs them
• Come as you are – fidgeting, moving, doodling, lying down all welcome
• Gentle, flexible pacing (nothing timed too tightly)
• You can engage in your own way – writing, thinking, or simply being there
Head to Eventbrite to book, or email (no booking fee).

Join me for an informal live Q&A introducing my four-week Compassion Journalling course.

Compassion Journalling uses two-pen dialogue, visual mapping, poetry, and mindfulness to help participants develop a genuine relationship with their own compassionate voice – not as a performance of self-care, but as a felt, creative resource. Drawing from Compassion Focused Therapy and self-compassion research, it offers tools for responding to yourself with curiosity, care, and honesty.

The course itself will be held on Zoom. A link will be sent out to participants the date before the course starts.

Substack account holders can join the Q&A directly through this link: https://open.substack.com/live-stream/192556?utm_source=live-stream-scheduled-upsell

Testimonials

“I really would recommend trying it if you have any interest in building or repairing your inner dialogue with yourself. Insightful and fun.” — Hamish

“This course provided a gentle, safe space to explore the importance of being compassionate to ourselves through the power of writing. Kate is an excellent facilitator and I felt attended to and held throughout the course. I came away feeling lighter and much more aware of the need for compassion to be present in my life – for me. I also loved writing the joint pantoum with our small and lovely group.” — Alexandra Harrington

“Having worked closely with Kate on Lapidus International’s board, I can attest that she is the real deal.” — Rick Wilson, Lapidus Treasurer, 2023–2025
