Kate Bodell

I am a writer and poet who also likes to draw. As a former primary school teacher, my educational philosophy shaped my passion for helping others. I believe in making learning fun and nurturing the whole child. Now as a poet, I am especially interested in mental well-being. I write poems for peace of mind. My current project POETRY in MOTION, sees me writing poems for strangers to uplift them in a moment of despair. Postcards are dotted in peaceful spots around Wandsworth and beyond, with a QR code for initial interaction. I also run creativity workshops, Kickstart Your Creativity, for children and adults whose inner children may need a little love! These workshops are designed to relax, allow space for expression and exploration and ultimately empower individuals to know they have the tools within themselves to find answers and support themselves. I’m an oasis in the chaos, helping people develop inner peace for maintaining their well-being in this wild world we live in!
