LGBT Switchboard has announced it will be running a Grief Meets – Exploring Grief through Creative Writing workshop on Zoom with Dinos Aristidou on Monday, June 1 from 6.30pm.Being creative and letting words flow without any judgment or resistance gives us the chance to express ourselves, to navigate through grief and to try to make sense of our experiences.
In this online workshop, led by writer Dinos Aristidou, you will learn to use a variety of creative writing exercises and reflective activities to unlock inspiration and provide different perspectives on loss, grief and bereavement.
No previous writing experience is required and participants will be able to share any writing they produce, although this is not mandatory.
To attend, email Jackie at grief.encounters@switchboard.org.uk
If you’ve not used Zoom before, Switchboard will email you a guide and joining instructions beforehand.
