Mindfulness through Creative Writing

Tickets

Event Details

Explore mindfulness and creative writing in this two-hour workshop with author Penny McPherson. Learn how mindfulness can help you to deeply focus on issues or transport yourself to past experiences by anchoring in the present. Penny will guide you in methods to immerse yourself in the now, allowing you to release your creativity. 

These approaches can bring great clarity of thought and reflection to your work. Mindfulness exercised through creative writing enhances mood, reduces anxiety, boosts wellbeing and lifts confidence. And it’s fun!

In this workshop we explore immersive techniques and tools to take your written expression to new levels. Whether you currently write or haven’t done so in a long time, come along and discover some thought-provoking and inspiring ideas – Penny will guide you through a variety of enjoyable exercises. No previous experience necessary.
