Write to Heal, is a short, structured writing program delivered by our Memoir Writing Course facilitator - Shoma Mittra. It is designed to help participants slow their thinking, process stress, and regain clarity through guided writing practices. When stress builds up, thoughts can feel tangled and relentless. This program uses simple, carefully guided writing exercises to help participants pause, reflect, and make sense of what they are carrying—without pressure to perform or share. The course does not require writing experience. It focuses on wellbeing, not literary skill. Participants write privately, at their own pace, using prompts designed to support calm, insight, and emotional regulation. This program is suitable for adults experiencing everyday stress, emotional overload, or burnout, and for anyone seeking a gentle, reflective practice to support mental wellbeing.

If you have studied Italian for a while, want to improve your conversation skills and consolidate some grammar, this class is for you! Every week, the students work on conversation, learning words and expressions on different topics, mostly related to Italy (places, tradition, culture, history). The main focus is currently on everything about Italian food: how to order at the bar and at the restaurant, where to eat some world renown Italian dishes, how to cook them at home following the original recipes, the coffee culture. The students like to revise and consolidate previous grammar topics and are working hard on the new ones and on the conversation and the comprehension of Italian language. If you're unsure if this class is for you, please get in touch with the teacher.

Some of the basics of drawing have been established. It is now time to push on and explore your potential. Charcoal drawing is a basic tool for beginning artists. Through use of different coloured, textured papers; the magic of a white charcoal pencil and the kneaded eraser; light and shade; cast shadows; smudging and layering, a more complex image emerges. Come and join a fun, experimental group that loves to chat and draw. Migara Ramanayake will professionally guide us, yet again, to draw what we didn't think we could.
