Midlife can arrive with so many emotions – grief, joy, shame, overwhelm – but often we have neither the time to feel them nor the understanding to make sense of them. We’re too busy to acknowledge what we’re feeling but our emotions are there anyway, coming out in unexpected and unwanted ways.

This journaling workshop, led by Claire Fitzsimmons – Emotions Coach, Writer + Wellbeing Practitioner — offers you the time and space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your emotional life through guided writing prompts, group support and open conversation. Together we’ll explore tools to untangle what you’re feeling, name what’s present, and create a kinder, clearer emotional toolkit for this time of your life.

However, you’re feeling – anxious or overlooked, sad or angry, regretful or hopeful – this workshop is designed to give you the time and space to check-in with your emotional life.

Expect thought-provoking exercises, group discussion, and a warm, welcoming circle of women navigating this with you. You’ll leave with deeper self-awareness, new insights, and practices you can return to beyond the page.

This is a journaling workshop, so no writing experience is necessary.

This event is not wheelchair accessible.
