Writing Club

The Writing Club is taking a break.

We will be back as soon as possible.

The Windseeker Writing Club brings more fun, accountability, belonging and inspiration to our personal writing. There is increasing evidence that expressive, reflective and creative writing do contribute positively to health and wellbeing.

If you already practise journalling and personal writing or want to give it a try, join the club! 

Get your notebook out (try analogue for less distractions), write alone together with us, and share the good vibes. Let’s help each other keep the habit up and running.

It is all very simple:

• Fridays, 11:30-12:00 CET/CEST

• Online and always at the same link. (Contact me once to get the link, then just come when you can and wish!)

• Open to ALL

• Free of Charge

About the writing

• Structure:
  - Brief welcome
  - Prompted writing from a suggested or personal prompt (ca. 15min)
  - Reflective loop to let impressions, revelations and insights emerge (ca. 5min)
  - Brief check out

• In personal writing, your way is the right way. Text, mindmaps, drawing, painting, collage...mix and match in the way that comes natural to you and that helps you access your thoughts and ideas.

• During the session, enjoy your writing bubble. Find your comfortable spot. Feel free to take as many breaks as you wish and need. Tune down distractions: this time is for you and your pages. Put away all non-necessary devices that catch your attention and can be ignored for 30 minutes.

Writing Campaigns

Occasionally, I invite the group to invest a few Mondays in digging in and developing a specific theme.
If you have an idea for a campaign, please feel free to bring it to the group!

Past campaigns have included

• THREE GOOD THINGS. The three good things is a positive psychology technique that brings together personal writing and self-reflection. It focuses on the positive of life events and situations and our role in them.  When applied regularly, it has been shown to increase happiness and decrease depressive symptoms.

• TASTERS. We are all more or less familiar with journalling…but this is only one way of processing our wandering and wonderful thoughts. The experience of accessing and expressing ourselves can take a diversity of forms and shapes, and use different channels and ways of communication. (See the programmes and prompts of the 2022 Tasters Campaign)

• CREACT. Create-Art-React. What prompts us to write doesn’t necessarily have to be a question. It could be an image, a text, a sound created by others and that pokes, provokes and inspires us to unleash our own stream of reflection, expression and creativity. Every Monday in this series, we start off by contemplating a work of art and see where it leads us.
