Dates and times will be announced when the workshop launches. Join the waiting list and Elizabeth will write to you first.

Recovery does not follow a single course. It may bring changes in relationships, physical and mental health, and one’s understanding of the past and present. Writing offers an opportunity to examine these experiences without requiring a simple explanation or a particular outcome.

Who it’s for

A place to write in your own words.

For writers reflecting on recovery and the changes it brings to their lives. Through poetry and prose, participants can examine their experiences, uncertainties, and questions while developing their own ways of expressing them.

What to expect

Choice-led prompts

Adapt a prompt, take a different direction, or simply listen.

Optional sharing
