It is suitable for beginners.About this EventOverviewIt is easy to get caught up in everyday life without taking the time to reflect on yourself, your experiences and the world around you. My writing for wellbeing workshops give you the space to do just that.I'll guide you through a series of themed writing exercises designed to facilitate self-reflection, self-expression and creativity in a friendly, supportive environment.Combining reflective and creative writing approaches, my sessions focus on the writing process not the resulting product, though you may choose to produce poetry, short stories and other creative pieces.You can disregard spelling and grammar rules and any worries your writing won’t be good enough, everything you produce in the workshop is valuable. Although I'll invite you to share and discuss your writing, there is no pressure to do so.The sessions are particularly suitable for beginners.About meI have a BA (honours) in English Literature and Creative Writing and an MSc in Psychology. I lead writing for wellbeing sessions in clinical, community and workplace settings. Developed in line with the Creative Health Quality Framework, my workshops are informed by psychology theory and therapeutic writing research.Contact me if you have any questions about the session: fayeknowleswrites@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram: Please noteMy writing exercises are designed to explore positive experiences and elicit pleasant emotions. However, as everyone has their own story, some themes and topics may be personally triggering and negative emotions may surface. You may also wish to write about a difficult experience. The workshops are not a form of therapy and it is important you can keep yourself safe.Important session logisticsPlease arrive in good time as the session will begin at 10.30am.Hot drinks are available. If you would like a tea or coffee, please arrive 10-15 minutes before the session so this can be arranged.Although I supply pens and lined A5 paper, I recommend bringing your own dedicated notebook to keep your writing and reflections in one place. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/otley/writing-for-wellbeing-at-the-bookshop-on-the-square-otley-18-may-2026/100001987133438607 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, literary-art, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 12, max: 12, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Otley - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Bookshop on the Square - **lat**: 53.9055474 - **long**: -1.6935135 - **full address**: The Bookshop on the Square, 28 Market Place, Otley, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Writing for wellbeing at The Bookshop on the Square, Otley: 18 May 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/245e9ff09e139f78c8fd6b37d0dbab6f1b46a18f192fe9bde50c2f2bca92156f-rimg-w1200-h400-dc272a32-gmir.jpg?v=1775985492 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Writing for wellbeing at The Bookshop on the Square, Otley: 18 May 2026 being held? - **A:** Writing for wellbeing at The Bookshop on the Square, Otley: 18 May 2026 takes place on Mon, 18 May, 2026 at 10:30 am to Mon, 18 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm at The Bookshop on the Square, 28 Market Place, Otley, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Writing for wellbeing at The Bookshop on the Square, Otley: 18 May 2026? - **A:** Writing for wellbeing at The Bookshop on the Square, Otley: 18 May 2026 is organized by Faye Knowles. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
