Letters to Loss: A Creative Writing Workshop at Arnolfini

A event held at Arnolfini on Friday 6th February. The event starts at 16:30.


Join Bristol-based writer Jessica Olivia Neill for a creative writing workshop inspired by themes of loss, healing and renewal in Emma Talbot: Everything is Energy.

Endings are a part of life, but we don't always have the time, space or language to process them, especially when they feel unresolved.

This interactive workshop explores unresolved endings and loss through the art of letter writing, helping give voice to uncertainty and change as a way to let go and heal.

Through guided prompts and group sharing and reflection, we'll consider what can happen when we write to loss directly.

Friday 6 February, 4.30-5.30pm

Please book a place and pay what you can.

Please arrive at Arnolfini's Reading Room on the second floor 5 minutes before the session starts.

You are are invited to stay, reflect and view the exhibition afterwards.
