I then dashed off to Brompton Road Library to take part in the Cityreads series of events around the book "Sofia Khan is not obliged". As some of the group were expecting a talk on food, it was wonderful that everyone was willing to find out about words for wellbeing and to take part in the workshop.
Here is a selection of feedback from the two workshops:
What did you particularly enjoy?
"Starting with a word and building forward was inspirational for me." - Brajesh
"Having the quiet, space and relaxation to allow myself to think, focus and express myself in writing," - Jan
"Sharing ideas with others and hearing their contributions." - Noreen
"Participation, sharing experiences and hearing beautiful stories." - Tania
Something you might take away
