‘Savouring the moment’: reading and writing poetry for pleasure with Kit Finnie

This workshop will be an exploration of ‘savouring the moment’, one of the five pillars of wellbeing. Through writing, sharing and discussion, participants will learn about the joy of creating poetry, and of cultivating a creative practice more generally. We will discuss what it might mean to ‘savour’ our time, zooming in on everyday rituals, the concept of ‘mindfulness’ and how writing can be a practical tool for self-discovery. We may also look outwards at other creative practices, and think about how to carve out space to feel freedom and comfort while exploring these.
