Weekend Reset: Writing for Well-Being workshop

Event Details

Event Description

You’ve had a crazy week or you’re preparing for a busy one, you might be craving a moment of calm. My Weekend Reset workshop in The Wellness Writing Room offers you a safe place to reflect and recharge. Across 90 nourishing minutes, I’ll guide you through therapeutic creative writing exercises, with time for optional sharing, active listening, reflection and gentle discussion, all held within a supportive, non‑judgemental online writing room.

This workshop isn’t about learning to “be a writer”. It’s about using writing as a tool for grounding, clarity and emotional well-being. You don’t need experience, confidence or perfect grammar. I simply invite you to bring a pen and paper (or a laptop if it’s your preference) and a willingness to explore what emerges when you give yourself time to write.

In my Weekend Reset, you will experience:
• a guided visualisation, mindfulness or breathing exercise to help you settle and centre
• therapeutic writing exercises and prompts designed to support your well-being
• spacious moments for reflection, discussion and optional sharing
• how writing can gently unlock insight, ease and self‑connection

So why not join me for my Weekend Reset in The Wellness Writing Room, to pause, reflect and reconnect with yourself, as well as connecting with others?

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
