Purpose:

To help participants express their thoughts and emotions freely, without judgment or self-censorship.

Duration:

15-20 minutes

Setup:

• Provide paper and pens or notebooks for each participant.
• Find a quiet, comfortable space.

Steps:

1. Invite participants to write continuously for a set time (e.g., 10 minutes).
2. Encourage them to write whatever comes to mind — feelings, thoughts, stories, or anything else — without stopping or editing.
3. Remind them that spelling, grammar, and punctuation don’t matter.
4. After the time is up, participants can choose to share their writing or keep it private.
5. End with a brief reflection or group discussion about the experience if desired.

Tips:

• Encourage participants to relax and let their thoughts flow naturally.
• Emphasize that there are no right or wrong answers in free writing.
• Use prompts if participants need inspiration, but keep it optional.
