This forum is an initiative of the Life Righting Collective.
We want to create a space for writers to meet and exchange stories, articles and ideas. In this way we can get to know each other across all the things that potentially divide us. We grow in confidence when we realise that our story is worth telling and when we develop our ability to communicate well. In the writing process we uncover things we didn’t know we didn’t know, which fuels our curiosity, and provides us with insight and a bigger picture. We grow compassion when we hear about the lives of those whose stories we might not otherwise encounter. The forum is a place where we can be inspired, supported, and learn.
The Life Righting Collective runs courses to help people express their lived experience in text. In the process participants can recover and rediscover themselves, become more confident, compassionate and creative, grow community with emerging writers, and to support the development of creative life as a resource for well-being.Â
In the time of the pandemic and lockdown, we are challenged to create forums where we can connect and flourish. Writing can help us to cope better with anxiety and depression, process our difficulties, find pleasure in creativity, and communicate our experience to others effectively.
Join us. Stay home and Write. Share. Sign up for our online course here.
Warm regards,
