Chronically Ch(ILL) Sessions, Session 6

Join our sixth Chronically Ch(ILL) Session, a welcoming space designed specifically for chronically ill and chronically chill people. Our sessions are held once a month on the last Sunday, providing an opportunity for you to connect and socialise in a virtual environment.


Ennis Welbourne (they/them) is a marginalised writer facilitating peer-to-peer online writing groups under the banner Access Narrative. They work for London Lit Lab as Assistant Editor and are a Bath Spa creative writing graduate. They have been published in Transcribed, an anthology of trans writing, and the survivor writers' collection, You Are Here.

This session is an invitation to take part in a guided writing exercise exploring the therapeutic tool of Pendulation. We will gently welcome emotion, sensation and memory, using the page to describe and hold a moment of distress or discomfort. We will then shift our attention to something that brings us ease or neutrality. This fluid movement between internal states can aid in the regulation of our nervous systems, and help us shift out of cycles of rumination


This gathering is particularly for those who may feel isolated due to being housebound, bed-bound, or facing the challenges of chronic illness. Here, we aim to foster community, solidarity, and safety among one another. Together, we can share experiences, support each other, and nurture hope for a brighter tomorrow, especially for chronically ill, disabled, BIPOC, and neurodiverse individuals.

Come as you are, and let’s create a space where everyone feels valued and heard. We look forward to seeing you there!
