Creative forms of journalling offer an accessible, personal reflective practice, with the potential to make a quiet but lasting difference to our wellbeing.

But how do we make space for these kinds of activity in daily life, and how might we expand them beyond conventional, diary-like narratives?

The Present Page is a series of six friendly, practical workshops that begin with journalling and the page, and gently expand outward into drawing, movement, storytelling and sound.

Led by experienced artist-practitioners, each session offers a welcoming, no-pressure space to explore a creative practice together, while considering how these approaches can be folded into busy everyday routines.
