Creative Writing With Mira Mookerjee

Self Care and Self Love is the theme for our first series of workshops for 2026. ‘Awakening ME’ – heal, recoup, recover and strengthen the body to increase your physical, spiritual and creative potential.

How can creative writing bring us into the present moment and make us focus on the often-overlooked aspects of life? How does reading make us perceive the everyday from new perspectives?

In this series with creative writing teacher Mira Mookerjee, we will be exploring wakefulness and self-care. Together, we will be reflecting on the work of Jhumpa Lahiri, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o and more as you learn how to find your own creative voice and craft our own short stories. All are welcome, let’s create some beautiful art. Ideal for 50+.
