Emerging in Uncertainty - Writing to Reconnect

Jul 5

As we tentatively re-emerge into a changed world - transformed in ourselves - how can we be present with the grief and feelings that need to be heard and held and healed and released?

How can we shift our own patterns of behaviour so as not to go back to who we were before?

How can we co-create something new & vibrant & exciting - in alignment with our personal values and highest vision?

And how can writing become part of our daily practice in stepping into this purpose?

Join me in the Writing & Thriving Spiral for a Facebook LIVE tomorrow, Tuesday 6th July, at 5pm BST, to explore these questions with simple and accessible writing practices to open up pathways of enquiry for daily living.

Writing my PhD in Utopian Poetics showed me what it means to be a writer. I wrote four books of poetry and a 50,000 word thesis, and I started journaling as a way to ground and heal myself.

While I was studying, I also wrote and maintained the Contemporary Small Press website, writing regular reviews of new fiction and poetry published by small presses. I was on the judging panel for the 2018 Republic of Consciousness Prize for literary fiction from the small presses. So I was reading a lot of great writing too. And I co-developed and taught a series of workshops called WELLBEING WHILE WRITING for doctoral researchers at the University of Westminster.

WELLBEING WHILE WRITING used practical techniques from Creative Writing pedagogy to support PhD students of all disciplines with the work of WRITING their thesis. I also used my knowledge and experience of yoga and meditation to provide MOVING & BREATHING FOR WELLBEING workshops to graduate students at the University.

I’ve been teaching English since 2004 and I’ve been teaching Creative Writing at the University of Westminster since 2017.
