Hello Poetic Souls,

Here we are just after the half-way point of Spring, and it has felt good to feel the returning warmth of the sun on my skin these past few weeks. It has been a chance after a very rainy winter to get outside again, to visit some of my favourite spots along the Cornish coast, and to replenish myself before the busy season of Summer arrives. (The images this month are all from those moments.) That is why for this month’s Long Weekend of Writing Sanctuary, I have chosen the theme of ‘replenishment’. For those of you who are new here, it is a monthly opportunity to refill your creative cup, and to spend a little time each day, writing and reflecting on the past month, in a no-pressure, super relaxed way, in preparation for the one to come.

Below you will find reflective writing exercises, poetry and poetry prompts, as well as a guided meditation, some relaxing music and dreamy images to help you to create your own writing sanctuary at home.

Enjoy!

Kelly Louise xx
