FREE Out of Bounds taster session (online)

Thursday 5th December 2024
7.00-8.30pm GMT

Interested to find out how ‘live’ expressive writing can help you gently explore and connect with yourself, your boarding school experience, and others?

This free Out of Bounds taster session (run in association with Seen & Heard) is open to all ex-boarders. There will be a short writing activity, and the session will give a flavour of the full six-week course (see below). No previous experience of Creative Writing for Wellbeing is necessary.

out of bounds = outside the limits of where one has permission to be

Out of Bounds is a series of six Creative Writing for Wellbeing workshops for ex-boarders (next course Jan-Feb 2025).

Rachel (Creative Writing for Wellbeing facilitator, not an ex-boarder) and John (group facilitator, ex-boarder) create a safe space for personal and group exploration through simple and varied prompts for short pieces of ‘live’ writing. There is always the opportunity - but never any obligation - to share your writing and be witnessed. Rachel and John are a wife-and-husband team.

Out of Bounds is a gentle but powerful exploration of what it is to be a boarding school survivor. We aim to support and connect people who are reflecting more closely on their experience of boarding school.
