Event Description
People with lived experience of cancer spend many hours in hospital waiting rooms, often experiencing anxiety and stress. Sussex Cancer Fund are sponsoring the project ‘Words from the Waiting Room’, which will offer a space for patients and/or friends and family of patients who have spent time in the oncology waiting room to explore their experiences creatively. In a two-hour workshop, Deborah and Karina will use writing prompts to help participants explore their own stories, with opportunities to use collaged words for those who feel inhibited by writing.
To book, please email Deborah on deborah.writingwell@gmail.com

In this 2-day, online workshop dedicated to the senses, Apple Barn founders Natasha and Tamzin will be joined by deep listening expert Mike Edwards who will guide us in listening to the sounds of May, as springboards for our writing.
Participants will be encouraged to use their ears to feel into season and place, and to get to know both more fully through the sounds and writings that emerge. During each session, there will be an opportunity to spend some time away from the computer to focus on the sounds of the places we find ourselves in.
Access to the outdoors is not necessary but can be included in the listening sessions if available. Places are limited for this workshop to ensure we are a small group with space for everyone to share, if they’d like to. We welcome writers of all backgrounds and abilities and look forward to listening and writing with you.
