Take a Mindful Lunchtime Pause This National Poetry Day 🍂

Looking for a moment of calm in your day? Why not join the special Book Blether: Poetry Blether session at 1pm on Thursday 1 October, celebrating National Poetry Day.

Together, we'll explore a selection of poems inspired by wonder, discovering how poetry can help us notice, reflect on and appreciate the world around us. Through listening, conversation and a little creative writing, we'll create a welcoming space to pause, connect and be inspired.

Whether you're a regular reader of poetry or have never picked up a poem before, everyone is welcome. No preparation, specialist knowledge or prior experience is required. Simply come along with an open mind. If possible, having a pen and paper nearby will help you make the most of the creative activities.

This relaxed online session offers a chance to step away from your busy day, enjoy meaningful conversation and experience the wellbeing benefits of creativity and reflection.
