Experience
I founded Wild Words for Wellbeing, a writing for wellbeing workshop in my hometown of Folkestone. We meet each Wednesday for two hours. We use journal writing and poetry therapy techniques to explore our authentic voices. Each week we focus on a theme connected to ‘the wild’. Current themes include: fall, roar, instinct, awe, wonder, light.
