Writing Workshop Led by Jo Eastop
Life rarely stands still. Whether you’ve changed jobs, retired, moved home, welcomed a new baby, experienced bereavement, watched children leave the nest, or are navigating any other major shift, transitions can stir up complex emotions.
This gentle, supportive workshop with Jo Eastop offers space to explore those feelings through short, accessible writing activities designed to promote well-being. No writing experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to pause and reflect.

Through guided exercises, you’ll discover how writing about emotional experiences can help you process change and find clarity.

Southlands Arts Centre is a wonderful Queen Anne Grade 2 listed building with extensive, beautiful grounds. It is the perfect backdrop for all creative people. The Centre is used by people and groups who engage in cultural activities across the fine arts, music, photography, film, and craft design.
We are well known for our exhibitions held throughout the year and attract some amazing artists (many local) who regularly exhibit their work at the Centre. We are also the home for The West London Photo Exhibition and SouthlandsLIVE.
