Future Self Letter Workshop
 
Words are more powerful than we might think. 
We can use them to manifest things into our lives, compliment and be kind to ourselves, write down our favourite memories and create a little time capsule, notice how far we have come, what dreams came true and where our daydreams lead us next. 
 
Having the time to think, reflect and write things down by hand it’s an amazing way for all the senses to connect, the mind, the soul and the body. It is a more personal experience in comparison to texting or typing on our laptops. 
Writing things down helps us to be present, in the here and now with ourselves and truly enjoy the sacred time we spend reflecting on our lives and what steps we want to take. 
 
 
What happens during the workshop?
 
First, there is a quick introduction and a presentation from Sima in Stripes to introduce all the benefits of writing a letter to your future self and steps to explain how to use each letter and create a personalised stamp for printing.
 
Once the presentation is completed, the music creates a wellbeing bubble perfect to dive into writing the four different types of Future Self Letters specifically designed to reflect on each individual’s past, present and future experiences, dreams and hopes. After the letters are completed, they are folded, sealed and labeled with an opening date.
 
Second part of the workshop is more hands on and creative in a different way. All the tools available on each desk help attendees to create their own personalised printing stamp that they test by printing them in their letters or on paper.
 
As a cherry on top and to appreciate and celebrate everyone, who had the time to join this workshop, wanted to try something new and made time for themselves in their busy schedules, I finish with a small ‘graduation’ ceremony and award everyone with their Time-travelling certificates.
