First ever team-building session, 1 November 2021

What a treat to work with a group who are essentially new to creative writing. It's interesting that people are less encumbered by the need to be good/creative when they aren't writers or journalers. A real pleasure for me and a successful session. Give me a shout if you'd like to hear more.

Manchester University workshop, 18 March 2021

Really excited to have done my first workshop working with university students at the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute, Manchester University.

“The session enabled students to share with others how they are feeling in a creative supportive life affirming environment, it provided an opportunity for meaningful artistic dialogue and opportunities for one-to-one connection with others that also builds confidence in self-expression and writing.”

Dr Adele Aubrey, Partnerships and Programmes Manager, Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute, Manchester University

One word check-outs: “Curious, excited, liberating, enlightened, energising (x2), opened up, inspired, relaxing, revealing, sociable.”
