12:30pm – 1:30pm: Introduction to Mindfulness with Victoria John
We will look at what Mindfulness is, how to use it in a helpful way in our everyday lives as well as the experience of some short sitting practices. This is a really informal session for those who are interested but, perhaps have never tried Mindfulness or for those who have had a go but would like to do some more! Come along!
Victoria John is a Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher and Actor, Having struggled with anxiety for a number of years, found Meditation a transformative tool and loves the opportunity to share these practices and tools with others.
2:00pm - 3:30pm: Wordsmiths Creative Writing
In this fun workshop, attendees are guided through structured writing activities and games to enable them to create and share a mixture of fictional and true stories based on their own experiences.
The group setting allows each person to firstly build confidence by sharing work that they have created from nothing, and secondly to build empathy towards other people in their community by hearing their stories in their words. The goal is to enable a creative way to communicate and to understand thoughts and ideas whilst having fun.
