There’s you, there’s the world, and there’s your writing – the texts you create to convey to others your unique experience of being in the world. In Sense(-ation), I’ll offer a range of prompts to get you writing in that space where self meets other and other meets self, through an exploration of the senses* and sensations.

The group will be made up of returning participants and new members, with a range of writing styles and levels of experience. The whole course will operate within CARE guidelines (Confidentiality, Attention, Respect and Empathy), allowing you to take creative and emotional risks in a safely-held space. There's no obligation to write in a particular way, nor to share your work if you don't want to. No previous experience is necessary.

I'm a published author and a qualified and experienced Creative Writing for Wellbeing facilitator. I create a safely-held space where participants have the opportunity to write into a prompt and then share their writing with the group if they wish to. The focus is always on the content of your writing; there’s no literary critique.

*More than you might think!

The course is suitable for writers with all levels of experience.

NB There is no session on Tuesday 29 October.

"Working with Rachel in a group gives me peace and connection - what a spiritual combination! I'm amazed every week how my mood changes over two hours, - I come out somewhere totally different, surprising and with a feeling unimaginable when I began. Real magic!"

— Evie

“Rachel’s gentle and supportive approach using a great variety of exercises has helped me find my writing voice and the confidence to go further."
