Hilton Koppe’s Workshop – Details

 

Write Your Life to Right Your Life – Reflective Writing Workshop

Are you looking for creative ways to overcome some of life’s persistent, pestering unhelpful thoughts? Or looking for ways to transform minor irritations and annoying memories into something joyful? Or perhaps you are just feeling stuck with pen in hand, terrified by the blank page in front of you?

If so, then perhaps this workshop could be just what the (curious) doctor ordered.

Come and join author, doctor and experienced facilitator Hilton Koppe for a few fun-filled hours of playing with words on the page. Gentle writing exercises will be offered in a safe supportive space.

Bring humility, a sense of curiosity, and a pen. You may also like to bring some old family photographs to use as a prompt for one of the writing exercises.

Potentially leave with:

  • A tool for relieving, rather than re-living, life’s challenging memories.
  • A tool for building (self) compassion.
  • Re-ignition of a (perhaps lost) passion for creativity.
