Let This Poem Be A Hand Upon Your Shoulder – Poetry Therapy Workshops
Date: 24th June, 8th + 22nd July
Time: 11:00am to 12:30pm
Where: Online (Zoom)
Cost: £25.00 plus booking fee
Description:
In times of crisis and uncertainty, poetry can bring comfort and healing. Let this poem be a hand upon your shoulder consists of a series of workshops that can help you build your resilience as you connect with others in these challenging times.The theme for the workshops was inspired by a poem written by Deborah Cooper. We will use carefully selected poems as a springboard for writing, reflection, and dialogue. The workshops are for anyone who wants additional resources, in these unsettling times. It is for those who enjoy creativity, journaling, writing for personal or professional development.
No prior knowledge of poetry or expressive writing is required; you simply need to be willing to share, reflect and experiment with words in a supportive environment.
Charmaine Pollard is an experienced poetry therapist, counsellor, and life coach with a passion for leading therapeutic writing workshops to promote health and well-being. She is author of Writing for Resilience, a book that harnesses the power of writing to help boost creativity and self-expression, whilst strengthening resilience.

Supervision Workshops for Practitioners
Date: 12 June, 10 July, 2022
Time: 10am to 12pm
Where: Online, Zoom
Cost: £35 per workshop
Description:
These workshops are for practitioners in the healing arts who would find further exploratory writing helpful for their work with others. My approach is experiential: we address a particular theme; share thoughts, feelings and writing which arise during the course of our time together. Participants value how we create a safe place for discussion and writing. In turn this increases the trust in process and confidence in professional practice through also addressing personal responses to issues which are challenging.
Monica is the author of a series of books on creative therapeutic writing: drawing on her own experimental and exploratory writing with exercises and notes for practitioners. She is an experienced workshop facilitator; her background is in humanistic psychotherapy and journalism; she worked as a producer for BBC Radio 4, and gained an MA in Creative Writing (Sussex University 2002). She is a founding member of the ISN (the Interdisciplinary Supervisors Network).

Writing for Self-Discovery - The Secret Garden

Time: 11:30am – 2:30pm
Where: Culpeper Community Garden, 1 Cloudesley Road, London N1 0EG
Cost: £45
Description:
In these workshops, we provide you with writing prompts and encourage you to write freely in response to these. We focus on areas such as relationships, childhood memories and life transitions. You do not need to be skilled or experienced in creative writing to take part, you just need an openness to the process as it unfolds. The writing exercises often lead to areas of personal surprise or revelation, as an area of self-knowing that was out of our awareness emerges.
Booking details: You can book onto a Writing for Self-Discovery workshop by joining our MeetUp Group and making the booking on that site. You can also hear about future workshops by joining the MeetUp group. Please contact us if you need support to use MeetUp or would like to make any suggestions.
