The workshop series will be held every Friday throughout February at 11 am and 2 pm (GMT). Each week will aim to realign our negative thoughts into positive ones, using a range of activities including, use of colour, writing, poetry, personification, affirmations, and the list continues. Ultimately, during these 4 weeks together we shall discover, can rearranging our words realign our thoughts?
Week 1: Realigning Thoughts & Colour
Week 2: Realigning Thoughts & Safe Space
Week 3: Realigning Thoughts & Today
Week 4: Realigning Thoughts & Poetry/ Prose
After week 4’s workshop, I will be hosting a poetry/prose open mic for the work we have created. There is no obligation to share your work, but you are more than welcome to come along. This (virtual) space we create together will be a safe space, a place to be honest and feel comfortable to share our emotions.
The main outcome of this workshop series is to discover if these methods of realigning thoughts are successful in helping in the long term. I hope being honest and open about my own mental health struggles will result in spreading awareness and hopefully allow others to feel comfortable to open up (if desired).
Items needed: coloured pencils or pens, paper, glue or tape, scissors.
If you do not have all of these items or cannot attend all workshops, please drop me an email or contact me via my Instagram: @heylets_talk_about_it
So join me, every Friday throughout February at 11 am or 2 pm and see if rearranging our words can realign our thoughts.
