On the 23rd of October 2024, we had our annual Wellbeing Day where we took ourselves on a day out together to pause, reflect, and rest.

We all brought a plate as well as creative writing prompts to share:

• Warm-up activity to ground ourselves. Use your senses to observe and write for two minutes without editing – stream of consciousness style – about this moment and this place.
• You hear a bird pecking loudly at your door. What do you do?
• The Coffee Shop AU (Alternate Universe). Describe an ordinary day at your coffee shop.
• Describe your first time in space.
• You are wandering through an ancient forest. There is a magical tree that protects the forest from evil. You notice that there is a hole inside this tree and you peer inside. What do you see?
• What would you say to a tree if you could communicate with it?
• Shuffle your song library. Whatever song you land, use it as a writing prompt.

This all lead to a lot of laughter and awe at how wild all our imaginations ran. It was a lovely day spent with an equally lovely crew of people!
