Are you navigating a life-limiting illness, caring for someone or living with a loss or bereavement?

NEW this autumn is Meet-Chat-Jot! Join us for uplifting, practical sessions exploring the power of journaling to boost clarity, creativity and emotional wellbeing. 

Peta Butcher will be facilitating our Meet, Chat, Jot sessions...

“I’m excited to be working with the Coates Centre to launch a new series of informal gratitude sessions, reflecting the ethos of Living Well. These will provide space to meet, chat, and jot down reflections on the small but meaningful moments—acts of kindness, connections with others, or sparks of joy and fun—that can bring positivity during difficult times.

Shaped by my experience as a Ward Volunteer and former Bedside Companion in the Inpatient Unit, specialist training at Oakhaven, personal experience of loss, and my lifelong passion for writing, the sessions will use writing as a simple, cathartic tool to process emotions and celebrate life.”

Join us for uplifting, practical sessions exploring the power of journaling to boost clarity, creativity, and emotional wellbeing.

What to expect

• Learn techniques (free writing, reflective writing, art journaling)
• Use creative prompts to spark ideas and self-expression
• Reflect, share, and connect in a safe and supportive space
• Discover how journaling can fit into daily life as a tool for growth and resilience.

Our aim is to provide you with

• Greater self-awareness and emotional clarity
• Confidence to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment
• Practical tools to continue journaling beyond the workshop.
