Creative Writing & Poetry Workshops
I have designed a range of creative writing and poetry workshops, and I am open to designing these in collaboration with others, or holding one with you or your organisation.
- I co-founded LIT Reading and Writing Group in 2017, which we set up a reading and writing group for cis and trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and people of other minority genders to share their own work and the work of others.
- I worked with Liz Pagett (Researcher, Designer and Creative Producer) to design and facilitate the workshop: Disability and Design (October 2024)
- “This pain is not just our own”: A writing workshop on gendered health & imagining collective responses (March 2024, July 2024)
- LIT Reading Group: Poetry Salon at the Old Fire Station (July 2024)
- Healing Justice London Bodies of Water: Trauma and Healing in Health and Care (January 2023)
Support
I am developing an offer of support that is bespoke to each person I work with, it can involve:
- Chronic illness mentoring: supporting those experiencing chronic illness to build care plans, understand their experiences better and build strategies to navigate what they’re going through.
- Care mapping session: Thinking together about where your limitations are, what resources you can draw on and how you can build your care network.
- Please note that this isn’t a clinical or therapeutic offer, but rather a form of peer support from one chronically ill person to another.
