Finding Stories in the Park

Join creative coach and writer Juliet Thomas at Greenhead Park to have some creative fun and ignite your imagination in our event Finding Stories in the Park. 

Juliet will set you challenges to explore the park and discover its secrets to then turn into stories. You may choose to write about the beautiful flora, fauna and wildlife or you may take in the historical aspects of the park and the people who visit. Greenhead Park is over 130 years old and there is lots to see and write about in this workshop.  

Once you’ve explored the park, you’ll come back together as a group to then be guided by Juliet in creating your stories at the Community Room where refreshments will be provided. Finally, if you choose to, you can share your story to the group, feeling proud of what you have created in this inspiring afternoon. 

 

Juliet Thomas is a creative entrepreneur, coach, writer, and founder of The Curious Creative Club, where she helps people unlock their creative potential through coaching, workshops, and mentorship. After a career in PR, CSR and Marketing with major organisations like Leeds United FC and Yorkshire Building Society, Juliet shifted focus in 2018 to build a creative business that blends her passion for storytelling, nature, art and helping others to embrace their inner creativity. As a wild nature enthusiast and creative advocate, she is passionate about sharing her message, that all humans are creative, and is now working on her first book, Creative by Nature, a journey of personal transformation and creative empowerment, supported by Arts Council DYCP funding. 

Meet at the Community Room, which is in the same building as the Cafe in the Park (the smaller of the two park cafes, on the Gledholt Road side of the park).
