Grief Writers Meet-up
Writing often provides solace for people in times of great loss and the sharing of that writing aids the healing process whilst also helping to normalise an experience which can often feel taboo.
The Grief Writers Meet-up aims to bring together those who write about themes of loss in a safe supportive space to write, share and to develop outlets for collectively raising awareness of grief perhaps through publications, exhibitions or performances.
The group is hosted at The Writers Workshop by experienced faciiitator and life coach, Beverley Ward, but is not be a taught course, more a bringing together of like minds in exploration and peer support.
Grief can be experienced in a mulitude of ways and as a result of a wide range of losses. All of it is welcome in this group.
We meet at The Writers Workshop in Orchard Square.
To promote consistency and trust, this group is free but only open to members of The Writers Workshop. You can find out more about joining The Writers Workshop here.
