Summer Depth Writing Workshop with Dr Rachel
- meet with your deep through writing & imagination

Online – Wednesday June 4th 6.30pm-8.30pm

Summer Depth Writing workshop

Cultivating playfulness and joy can help us foster resilience, creativity and connection. This Summer depth writing workshop will be a chance to reflect on the seasons and cycles of your self-experience through the wisdom and symbolism of summer and its associations with playfulness and joy through a series of guided depth writing prompts grounded in journaling, creative writing, Jungian depth psychology and ancient wisdom.

This practical Summer depth writing workshop will be a chance to reflect on where you may experience blocks to playfulness and joy as well as an opportunity to lightly activate your innate capacity for both. The workshop will include guided writing exercises of between approximately five and fifteen minutes designed to support self-discovery, facilitate creativity and expand possibility as well as the chance to reflect on the process with others in small group discussions. As the focus is on process, rather than outcome, and on what comes up in the writing, rather than craft, there will never be any pressure to read anything out (although you can if you wish).

Who is it for?

• Writers, creative practitioners, seekers, psyche travellers & inner explorers who are on a journey of self-discovery and are comfortable with diving deeper.

Workshop Guidelines

Although depth writing is transformational, it’s not therapy and so you will be asked to:

• Take responsibility for your own experience by working with the material at a level that feels right for you
• Avoid over-disclosing any personal matter that is particularly private or painful
• Consider seeking outside support if anything particularly difficult comes up
• Go in peace if the space is not serving you

By attending this workshop, you are agreeing to practice CARE - Confidentiality, Attention, Respect & Empathy - with others.
