As those with experience of self-harm, we may be seen as so outside of what lies in the territory of acceptable human experience that we inhabit symbolic no-go zones. We queer things, we seem difficult, resistant, outside the lines, despite efforts to mould, fit, pass, belong. This is a workshop for the word-shy, and the wordsmiths, the curious and ambivalent, to come and string together letters to reach each other, ourselves, outwards, and to say in a language that befits us what we wish to say in that moment. Come as you are, in the way that you need. The workshop will involve responding as you chose to open and flexible prompts. You will be welcome to participate as much or as little as you wish, to share or not, you will be met gladly. 

Louisa (she/her) is a tutor/facilitator, boat-rocker, survivor, escapologist, therapist, learner and AuDHD seeker of joy and potato smiles.

You will need:

• Pen/pencil
