I want to say a huge thank you to my Writing for Wellbeing group for my gorgeous cards and flowers I feel so moved and grateful to you all.

These workshops have not just been about sharing the power of hope and poetry but also building connections within our community. I feel so lucky to have met you all and I cannot wait for our next series of workshops.

Series three of our Writing for Wellbeing Workshops will begin on Wednesday 29th October, welcoming new members to this safe, inclusive and creative space! I hope to see you all there. More details will be shared soon 😊

WE'VE DONE IT!

What an extraordinary day. People cried, laughed, were moved, and came together in community — and in those shared moments we all found hope.

The words and feedback we’ve received have been overwhelming — so many reflections on how the festival touched hearts and minds. Thank you for every story, smile, and spark of connection.

This moment is the result of Jemma’s vision — carried for years, worked at with such dedication, and never given up on. What was once a dream has now become reality. She brought together a team who believed in the importance of what she was creating, and in supporting her we also found ourselves reconnecting with one another. This work matters, and we all felt it resonate within us.

Huge thanks to:

- Emoto Matic – who showed our young festival-goers the power of understanding and talking about emotions, drawing them in to listen, laugh and dance.

- Mina Cullimore – for the beautiful signs and creative workshops that lit up our space.

- Tilly for creating the stunning visuals!

- Henry & Sven – for the incredible work with schools, nurturing confidence in young people who became such inspirational performers, sharing words of truth, and for your own stunning performances. Thank you to the young people for your courage and beautiful poems.

- Alice – who held the stage with such ease, introducing our acts so gracefully, and sharing her own gift as a poet.

- Tilly & Anna – whose soaring voices rang out so beautifully across the park.

- Celia – for words that moved us deeply.

- Lemn Sissay – our incredible headliner, thank you for being the wonder that you are.

And to all our community poets, those who brought yoga and meditation, for Raph and his team for making sure the tech was seamless and for all these wonderful photos, to Fortress Guarding for looking after us and to our funders, supporters, mentors, and the council for providing such a beautiful venue — we couldn’t have done this without you.

We are inspired, connected, and full of hope. Until next time…

I woke up this morning to discover lots of beautiful images and comments from yesterday's Where the Light Begins Festival.

I am blown away and don't have the words right now, I feel such pure love, hope and joy in my heart.

Thank you to everyone who helped run the day and to all those who were a part of this truly magical moment here in Stone Recreation Ground.

✨ Artist Announcement ✨

We are overjoyed to welcome Mina Cullimore to this year’s Where the Light Begins Festival!

With more than three decades of experience working with children, young people, families, students, and communities in the UK and beyond, Mina brings a unique blend of wisdom, artistry, and heart. Her workshops are shaped by teaching, lecturing, and research across philosophy, the sciences, theology, wellbeing, and the arts—always balanced with her own vibrant creative studio practice.

🌟 At the festival, Mina will be leading inspiring sessions that invite both adults and children to explore their experiences of hope through creativity. Using a rich mix of resources, she will guide participants to create visual responses that shine a light on the many ways hope lives in our shared human journey.

We can’t wait to see what blossoms from Mina’s workshops!

WORKSHOPS:

12:30 –1:10pm
Weaving Strands of Hope
What thoughts do we carry when living our complex lives as humans, and where does the concept and experience of ‘hope’ have a role? Whilst listening to and engaging with dialogue, weave your thought strands alongside and with others.
During this session you will be working with a range of resources to create a small personal ‘token’ and/or add to our festival’s art installation, using a range of materials (wool, non-animal sourced yarn, alpaca fleece, wisteria vines).

1:45 – 2:25pm
What does ‘Hope’ mean?
‘Hope’ can be present in many aspects of our lives - as a ‘thing’, a description of an experience, and/or expressed through an ‘action’. Across communities and cultures, perhaps something that we share as a humanity is seeking to live a life well-lived.
We will be exploring words, concepts, languages and images about ‘hope’ to create a personal token and/or add to a visual response share board about our experiences of hope and ‘being hopeful’.

3:00 – 3:45pm
Create a mini-‘zine’
‘Zines’ are often small and homemade, collecting a set of words/images to share ideas, experiences and perspectives into a few folded pages.
Using a range of materials and resources, start creating a min-zine (that can be finished at home) to explore, create, and share ideas about ‘hope’.

🌟✨ Only 2 days of anticipation remain until Where the Light Begins Festival ✨🌟

The excitement is building — like children waiting for a story to begin, eyes wide with wonder. Our festival invites everyone to step into that same spirit of anticipation and joy.

Through stories, songs, poems and art we’ll gather to nurture sparks of hope, celebrate imagination, and create moments that stay with us long after the day ends.

🌟 Entrance is free. We invite donations for workshops and from anyone able to support us in paying artists, covering costs, and sustaining our work. We want everyone to feel welcome — so if a workshop calls to you but donating isn’t possible, simply ask for a ticket for hope and join us freely. 💛

📅 Saturday 27th September
🕛 12–6pm
📍 Stone Recreation Ground, Dartford

Two more days… and then we open the festival gates and step into the light together. 🌟
