Event Description
Take a mindful pause in your week and join us for Write Here, Right Now — a calm, supportive online space for Lapidus members to come together and write.
Hosted once a month on a Wednesday lunchtime, this hour-long session offers a simple structure: a warm welcome from a Lapidus facilitator, a chance to briefly connect with fellow members, and then uninterrupted self-directed writing time. Whether you’re journalling, reflecting, or working on a creative project, writing in the quiet company of others can bring focus, motivation, and a sense of shared purpose.
We meet on Zoom. No pressure, no prompts — just you, your words, and a community that understands the power of writing for wellbeing.
Event details
This edition of Write Here, Right Now takes place on Wednesday 11th March 2026, from 1pm –2pm GMT (UK time).
