Feel, write, FLY

Feel, write FLY, providing journal writing workshops, rooted in self-connection and curiosity I guess this is my relationship with mindfulness.

Hi I'm Lynsey – I find writing out my thoughts in my lovely, currently pink infused leather journal, a great way to help me explore, enjoy and work through life's experiences. I enjoy writing silly and heartfelt poems and rhyming writing about my lovely family. I write poems about my experience of living with, fighting with, and tolerating muscle and joint stiffness. I have also been sustained by

journal writing in a celebratory way. As a parent, I enjoy capturing the language my girls use, as they discover the world around them and placing those ideas into poems. Being in the moment, balancing the impulse to seek, solve and resolve painful physical moments by fully noticing what is in front of me and gaining relief and joy in simple moments. Guidance on self-care, in advance of feel, Write Fly Journal Writing Workshops
o Self-care and personal responsibility is key – if you find when you are writing you are feeling uptight or not OK, then take a break. Close the book or screen and stop. Leave the room, go outside, get fresh air. o Writing shouldn’t be a pressure or a task
o You are writing for yourself, no one else. There should be no pressure to write well, spell correctly, for it to look neat
o Writing can also include art, doodles, scribbling. Your journal is yours, there is no right and wrong. o If you feel your inner critic is making you think and feel things, then stop what you are writing and perhaps start writing to your inner critic, telling them what you think? o You have choice over what, when and how you write
o You will not be asked to share your writing. After the workshop STOP and THINK about “what, with who and when” if you are feeling you would like to share any writing from a workshop, to ensure you are well supported. o Give yourself time after the workshop to reflect on the process and if needed, practice self- care

What a GREAT workshop Monday night.
My office had welcoming places to sit, activities to guide us and the air was filled with (possible) nervous curiosity and lovely wafts of Refilled herbal teas!

There was writing, scribbling, drawing whilst spending time with ourselves, in the company of likeminded women. Amazing!

I am considering another date in 4-6 weeks time and if you are interested please message me. You will be able to book on the July workshop very soon.
Watch this space for more information.
Clay is drying, so pictures to follow in next post.

THANK YOU lovely ladies for your interest in the workshop and your company. It was great writing and making together.

**The WORKSHOP on the 20th May will have a dramatic backdrop** as Chichester Fire Service have announced their major fire training exercise on the same evening!! The exercise will be between 7pm and 11pm. The link below has more information.

As my offices back onto the north walls, we may be able to hear some of the activity. There are also a number of road closures, but the good news is that Chichester Festival Theatre car park is open and my offices are only a 5/10 min walk away through the underpass.
So feel reassured everyone the WORKSHOP is still on!! 😃

A busy and great morning yesterday, delivering the two writing workshops at the young people's shop.

Writing together, sharing new skills and taking time to devlop familiar ones, all with the aim of supporting ourselves to be the best we can be.

It felt especially important to give back to the younger generation. To help equip children and young adults with tools they can use to celebrate and capture life's moments and also to sooth themselves when they feel hurt or overwhelmed.

Thanks Aly for inviting me and Georgie for making me feel very welcome.

Here is my 2020 feeling face in clay. During Covid, I worked providing online therapy to frontline NHS Doctors, GP's and Consultants.
Clay allowed me to try to capture, and process, some feelings at the time. I saw Shock, Disbelief, Horror, Eyes wide, No words. Just an open mouth, as I witnessed all the stories people had to share.
It still feels a powerful little piece of clay.

09/04/2024

A huge thank you and warm welcome to people who have booked so far. I am really looking forward to meeting you all.

I'm really keen to create a helpful and fun workshop that allows women to connect with themselves in both a meaniful and playful way to bring any words or themes to life, through a shape, symbol or moulded piece of clay.

Clay tools ready and pencils are sharpened!
Only 5 days to go.
Book now to avoid missing out.

Only two days to go before Thursdays journal workshops at the young people's shop.
Really excited to get writing!
