A psychotherapeutic writing programme.
The Bone Project blends writing, therapy and embodied practice.
Through carefully guided writing exercises, open dialogue and readings from literature, philosophy and theory, each session weaves together creativity and self-enquiry, offering tools to connect more deeply with our own lived experience.
This writing programme is about going bone deep and inviting language where there was once only feeling.

A Three-Day Immersion 〰️
Guided by writing expert Abigail Bergstrom and existential psychotherapist Helen Sproat, together they create the safety and structure to explore complex life experiences and living traumas through writing. Not just as memory, but as something living in the body, the psyche and the self.
