Guided creative writing workshops for South Asian people, exploring wellness and mental health.

Come join us at Cardiff Central Library for free guided creative writing workshop exploring the power of storytelling in promoting mental health and wellbeing within the South Asian community. Through gentle writing prompts, reading, discussion, and meditation, these workshops will dive into unspoken stigmas and stories in a safe and welcoming environment.

The workshops can be individually booked on and attended. You do not have to attend all three in the series. The workshops will be in English, but participants will be invited to share words relating to wellbeing in whatever language they feel comfortable.

1st workshop: 17 November 2025
2nd workshop: 25 November 2025
3rd workshop: 22 January 2026

Led by Dr Durre Shahwar, South Asian writer, researcher, editor, educator and artist.

Supported by Literature Wales and Cardiff Central Library.
