This is a six-month, guided creative writing journey held within a small, women-only group. The course offers a steady, structured space to explore writing as a reflective practice rather than a technical skill.Over time, participants often develop a more sustainable writing practice, greater confidence in their own voice, and an increased ability to work with blocks or uncertainty without self-judgement. Many also leave with a coherent body of personal writing and new ways of understanding how earlier experiences continue to shape present patterns. The emphasis is on process, continuity, and authorship rather than performance or productivity.

Course ScheduleThe course dates are scheduled from 14 January to 10 June, offering a structured sequence of sessions across the six-month period. Core session dates: 14 January21 January 4 February11 February18 FebruaryBreak11 MarchBreak 1 April15 April29 April13 May27 May10 JuneAlongside these, optional sessions may be offered in the alternate weeks. These are thoughtfully scheduled in response to the group’s pace and needs, providing continuity while allowing for flexibility within a carefully held structure.The course is intentionally six months long because the work it invites cannot be rushed. Writing, trust, confidence, and integration develop through regular return rather than short-term intensity.The extended duration allows themes to unfold gradually, earlier writing to be revisited, and a sense of continuity to form across the work.

The course runs as a closed group, and participants are encouraged to attend all core sessions to support continuity and group safety. That said, life events and unforeseen circumstances are understood. Occasional absences do not require explanation, and there is no pressure to catch up or disclose personal reasons. Fees are payable in full or via an agreed payment plan and are non-refundable once the course has begun, as places are reserved for the full six months and cannot be reallocated.

This is not a therapy group and does not replace personal or professional support. Writing is used as a creative and reflective practice held within clear ethical boundaries. Writing is always optional, and sharing is never required. Participants choose what they write, what remains private, and what, if anything, they share with the group. The facilitator does not analyse or interpret participants’ writing. The space is held with attention to choice, confidentiality, and care throughout.
