A city theatre has launched an extensive programme promoting kindness through creativity and partnerships.
Norwich Theatre will be working on kindness through creativity, in a programme including workshops in partnership with Norfolk and Waveney Mind.
The activities, which have now been put on sale, are designed as part of the year-long season, Creative Matters: Kindness through Creativity.
The season aims to investigate ways creativity and the arts can inspire societal change, tell unheard stories, augment compassion and foster a kinder society.
During Norfolk Creativity and Wellbeing Week, from May 20 to May 26, Norwich Theatre will host a variety of creativity-based workshops under the umbrella of Creative Kindness.
The series includes the Radical Acts of Kindfulness on May 23, examining how to incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion into everyday life.
On May 21, join Jenny Haycocks in the Shambhala Warrior Prophecy workshop, which seeks to elucidate a 1,000-year-old Tibetan Buddhist prophecy, presenting its teachings in a contemporary context.
Free and half-day workshops for young people have also been arranged over the May half-term.
