Creative Wellbeing Groups
I have provided creative wellbeing groups for adults in various settings, in person and online, since 2015, and am part of the team at Creative Alternatives, an arts on prescription service in Merseyside.
Watch this space for upcoming groups and workshops. In the meantime, here is some feedback from previous participants . . .
Writing Nature Poetry - Eden Gallery Newburgh
“I feel that I have taken the first step to opening up my creative self”
“I felt I could share my writing for the first time in my life. Thank you”
“A warm atmosphere with no judgement about what we wrote -
just positivity and encouragement”
“Honestly, this has been wonderful. Thank you for creating a space where
I feel comfortable to create and express”
Writing in Nature - Sefton Coast
“Thanks for today. It was really good and felt special”
“It was fab and I’m looking at nature with fresh eyes - thank you”
“Imaginative, engaging, innovative”
Mindful Writing - Liverpool
“Really enjoyed being offered moments for writing, enjoyed the creativity, good facilitation, surprising outcomes, thanks."
“Came in all flustered and hungry and didn't think I'd be able to switch off because the workshop was at my work venue. Hazel put us at ease straight away and I loved the exercises - they were perfect.”
“I am very tired and nearly didn't come to the session but I'm really glad I did! I have had some time out of my own head which I didn't necessarily realise I needed so much.”
Creative Writing for Wellbeing - online
“Thank you for a lovely session today, I really enjoyed it and it brings comfort to me in a difficult time”
“I really enjoyed today. I have social anxiety so I was very nervous for today especially with having my camera on, so I already feel like I’m coming out of my shell!”
