AW Meetup group founder Kate (Kateboo) will attend the first meeting and help you get started. Then the group will be continue to meet, hosted by members of the group Jane and Sarah. **Please always keep your RSVP up to date so we know who to expect. We require a minimum number of sign-ups to go ahead and will offer refunds if it doesn't go ahead.** **What will happen at this meetup?** This first meeting is about 'Getting Started'. In this session, we will introduce ourselves and share how the meetings will work. **To prepare, please try to read the Introduction and Basic Tools section of the book and have a notebook with you! *You do not have to read Week 1 for this session.*** **Does it cost anything?** There is a one-off sign-up fee of £15 which goes towards our Meetup.com subscription costs, which have increased yet again. You will need to pay in advance to secure your place. **A 'Creative Cluster':** This is a "creative cluster", not a taught course or therapy group. You might like to read the appendix in the book called 'Trail Mix' which covers Julia's concept of Sacred Circles (although we do it our own particular way!). It will be a self-run group with volunteers from the group acting as hosts at each meeting. **Time, dates and location** This group meetings on Monday evenings. The volunteer host will be online from 6.15 and the meeting will start promptly at 6.30pm. The first meeting will last an hour at most but subsequent sessions may be longer, but definitely ending by 8pm, sometimes earlier depending on how the discussions go. This group will meet for **13 weeks** (including the Getting Started session) ending on 17 June. We hope you can commit yourself to coming to most of the meetings. **Any questions?** If you've got any questions, please contact your hosts. See you there!

Our 42nd Spiritual Creatives gathering - in person! Come and join us for a lovely walk and talk around Hampstead Heath. We are meeting just outside Hampstead Heath station (London Overground train) at 11.00 on Sunday the 29th of March. Please note: This is NOT Hampstead Station on the Northern Line! It is the Hampstead HEATH station. The Google link is here: [https://goo.gl/maps/AJCNoxkKNj6K9Gp77](https://goo.gl/maps/AJCNoxkKNj6K9Gp77) We will wait for people to arrive until 11.15am and then we will begin walking. If you arrive later, you will only be able to catch up with us at Kenwood House approximately between 12 and 12.30pm. You should be able to find us sitting around as a group having a drink. If the weather permits, you'll find us outside the main café, towards the back. Look for the guy with the multicoloured scarf... that's me! After a short break of 20-30 minutes, we then walk back through the Heath, taking the long way round to Parliament Hill, and conclude our stroll back to Hampstead Heath overground station around 2 to 2.30pm. (Please note that you may become so involved in your conversations that you end up losing sight of the main group! Unfortunately, there is no way for you to catch up with us once we have become separated (and we do NOT check our phones for texts or messages during our walk) so please be mindful and conscious to stay with the main group if you want to keep up. Also please bear in mind that Hampstead Heath can be muddy sometimes, so please wear the appropriate shoes). After returning to Hampstead Heath Overground station, many of our (usually hungry) members like to continue the camaraderie over lunch at one of the local cafés or restaurants. As our group has grown over the years, these gatherings can be quite large, so we usually have to split into smaller parties and explore different venues. Some of our favourite spots are Dominique’s Café (dominiquescafe.co.uk) and Silverberries (silverberry.net), both of which offer a welcoming atmosphere and delicious food. It’s a great way to wind down the walk and continue our conversations. Spiritual Creatives is a warm-hearted and popular meetup group, as you can see from our ratings and comments! We hope to meet you then! :-) Best wishes Cliff P.S. we ask for a small £3 donation to help cover our Meetup.com membership, but please bear in mind that we are not able to offer refunds if a place is booked but not used. **Find out more about us at [https://www.spiritualarts.org.uk](https://www.spiritualarts.org.uk/).**

YOU CAN BOOK YOUR SPOT HERE: https://www.writeandpint.com/events/catharsis-how-to-achieve-emotional-revelation-and-release-in-creative-writing-food-drinks-a-free-book-a-pub-quiz ... Hello there! WHOEVER you are, you’re warmly invited to join us for a full-day creative writing workshop ✍️ with food & drink 🍴☕🍷, literary handouts 📖, and a bit of fun thrown in for good measure 🎉 Together, we’ll be exploring **Catharsis in Writing**: how stories, poems, and personal reflections can help us feel, release, and understand emotion. Over the course of the day, we’ll focus on **three key pathways to catharsis**: 1. **Interpersonal conflict** – tension between characters or people that is resolved, giving emotional release. 2. **Against-all-odds achievement** – following a protagonist (or yourself) through struggle toward success or triumph. 3. **Grief and letting go** – confronting loss and finding a sense of closure or understanding. Throughout the day, we’ll work with poetry, prose, memoir, hybrid forms, and even playful fragments, reading widely, writing freely, and following curiosity wherever it leads. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with new writing, ideas sparked, drafts begun, and plenty to keep working with long after the workshop ends. **What’s the plan? 🗓️** * **Start the day with teas/coffees ☕** and a gentle warm-up writing session ✍️ * **Break for brunch 🥐** at the Reliance Pub * **Settle into reading, discussion, and supported exploration**, experimenting with the three catharsis pathways 💬 * **Wind down with a late afternoon/early evening drink 🍺🍷🥤** * **Finish with a mini pub quiz 🧠🍻** purely for fun **When:** Saturday 28th March, 11am – 5pm **What’s included? 🎁** * A full day of creative writing workshops & exercises ✨ * Tea or coffee to start ☕ * A Reliance Pub brunch platter 🥗 * A late-afternoon/early-evening drink 🍻 * Thoughtful literary handouts 📄 * A little pub quiz 🧠🍻 for fun **What do you need to bring? 🎒** * Yourself 🙌 * A pen & pad 🖊️📓 (or a laptop 💻 if you prefer) **Our style 🌱** We create a friendly, supportive, and inclusive atmosphere 💜 Everybody is welcome — no experience necessary 🌈 No pressure to share or perform 🙅‍♂️ You can take part quietly, actively, or anywhere in between.

The MILDMAY CLUB, Newington Green Hackney based publisher, Indie Novella, are hosting a monthly in-person Writing Group in Stoke Newington, London. This is open for anyone working on a novel who is looking for a supportive group to provide advice and help to take it forward, be it if you’re struggling with writer’s block or you’re looking to submit to a literary agent and want to bounce around some ideas. The format will be in two parts. The first hour will be led by Indie Novella editor and author, Damien Mosley, focusing on a specific writing related topic. The first week at the Mildmay Club this will be the challenges of structuring our novel and we can discuss issues we face regarding plotting or where to begin or share examples which inspire us. The second hour each month will be dedicated to peer reviewing a sample of our writing. Authors Rose Diell and John McMenemie spoke of the importance of Writing Circles in helping writers develop at Stoke Newington Literary Festival and as such we hope this monthly space will allow writers to convene and share their experiences. Those interested please do come along. We do review one of the group's work each month and we can add you to the email list if you email [info@indienovella.co.uk](mailto:info@indienovella.co.uk).

Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
