Let it burn

Ever shaken a fist at the sky? Ever written something down and burnt it? Ever plunged into a cold lake / sea / ice bath? Ever walked into the heart of a forest and screamed? Ever turned your phone off, lit a bunch of tealights and taken a bath?

This therapeutic writing course conjures the energy of all of the above. It is a safe place to explore your full emotional plane, from the soft and tender to the prickly red-hot rage. There will be exercises, unique prompts and optional homework every week. We’ll also look at writing across genres that is unapologetically honest, raw, open and HUMAN, using them as touch points, for gentle discussion and as permission to allow ourselves to also go there.

We live in a world that asks us to hold a lot. We’re meant to keep calm, keep going, be productive, scroll past, swallow it, make sense of, get on with… We live in a world where AI makes every voice, every think piece, every substack, every advert sound muted, neutral, polite and frankly achingly stale. This course is designed to be an antidote to that. A place to be messy, a place to FEEL, a place to release, a place to process, a place to Let. It. Burn.

Drawing on my training in writing for therapy and continued weekly work in therapeutic spaces, I facilitate this space and all my spaces with care, consideration and curiosity. All levels of experience welcome. Sharing is always optional.

I have never met myself more fully than through my writing practice. Ready to meet yourself too?
