Billilit Memoir Workshop: Writing the story your body knows - with Eleanor Anstruther

£25.00

Sunday 17th May 2026 10am - 11.30am at the Women’s Hall

Memoir is more than a collection of facts; it’s a conversation with the body made narrative, an opportunity for your body to tell the story of you. In this ninety minute workshop, you’ll be gently guided to step out of the mind’s noise and into the body’s knowing. We’ll explore how scenes and structure, narrative and plot emerge when we stop trying to write with our mind and instead let our body tell the story. This is writing as release, as revelation. You don’t need to know yet what your memoir is “about”, only that something inside of you is ready to speak. 

Participants will need to bring pen and paper / laptops.
