The Wild Poets Society - New Poetry for Wellbeing group. Hothfield Ashford

Where words and wellbeing meet”. A new community group for anyone who finds inspiration, comfort, clarity, and care in sharing words. There’s a unique kind of magic when words and wellbeing come together. Welcome to “The Wild Poets Society” a new gentle, supportive community space for anyone who loves poetry and words as a path to wellbeing, supporting mental health and healing, and promoting self-expression. The Wild Poets Society was born out of a combined passion for walking, words and wellbeing, where nature and life’s event became the inspiration of the words I have write. The aim of TWPS is to create a safe, gentle, creative space for you to: Write freely, no rules, no experience needed, just your truth. Share words that have helped or inspired you. Draw inspiration from nature, life, joy, resilience, and quiet moments Connect with others who understand how deeply words can nurture us Whether you’re a lifelong poet or someone who hasn’t written a line since school, your voice matters, your words matter, you are welcome and belong here. Take your time. Read. Write. Breathe. Let’s walk this path of words and wellbeing together. Poetry doesn’t just describe wellbeing, it is wellbeing. It gives shape to the feelings that feel too big to hold, names the grief that feels unspeakable, gives rhythm to anxious thoughts, and reminds us that hope and beauty can grow even in the hardest seasons. I invite you to join me at the first meeting of The Wild Poets Society, held within the beautiful setting of the Lake House, complete with lakeside cafe and endearing shop. Come find your words. Come find your peace. Come find your people. Whether you come to write, to read, or simply to listen, to make new friends, I look forward to meeting with you.
