You’re Not Falling Behind — You’re Pacing Yourself

At this time of year, comparison rises.
But your system is not on anyone else’s timeline.
You’re not behind.
You’re protecting your capacity.
That’s wisdom.

Delighted to have Peter Urpeth join us as a guest group facilitator for last week's Catch 23 Writers Group. Below are a few words about Peter and a few words from Peter about the session;

Peter Urpeth is a writer, performance poet, musician, and filmmaker whose words have appeared in numerous publications, a novel and two collections of poetry. He also works as a writing mentor, workshop leader, creative editor, and journalist.

In 2024, Peter worked with the writing group at Catch23 to produce and publish a collection of work titled 'Island Life-A Transfer of Grace’.

Following last week's session with the group Peter commented:

“I love working with the writers’ group at Catch 23. This time, we worked with two old black and white photos I found in a flea market in Brighton to produce stories, characterisations, and story-worlds connecting the unrelated images.

“As always, the time set aside for reading the work as a group was so much fun, with pieces ranging from the hilarious to the deeply poignant. I can’t wait to return!”

Rebecca Mahony, WIAMH Project Manager commented;
"I would just like to thank Peter on behalf or everyone in our Catch 23 Writers Group for introducing us all to fascinating topic last week."😁👍

Another fun filled Thursday afternoon along at Catch 23.

Kicking off with Keilidh making her signature AWESOME paninis with support from Josie for lunch.

& Our lovely members then had option post-lunch of joining Matthew for Gather & Game board game session in the front room (this week trying out a FAB new game called 'Hues & Cues').

& Our lovely Linda led a special Festive Sketch & Chat session out in the Taigh Ceilidh making BEAUTIFUL bejewelled ceramic candle holders.

Great job everybody!🥰👍

WELL IT'S BEGINING TO FEEL A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS...🎄🎁🎅🤶

But here at Catch 23 we figured Santa might need a wee helping hand this year given the current cost of things...

So we've opened up our special chimney ready to receive gifts for our members from now until 16th December when we hope Santa will be dropping by to give out gifts.

Any gift donations welcome (up to value of £10).

BIG SHOUT OUT & THANKS go to Hazel for donating box to be transformed into chimney, Josie for painting it, Kenny for doing the brick work & pointing on it & to the lovely guys at The Colour Centre who when they heard what we needed brick red paint for donated it to us for free! 🥰👍Xx
