Thoughttree - working with Mind

We're excited to be working with Mind Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) in April. Mind works so hard to support those with mental health difficulties - we're proud to be associated.

We'll be dropping in to Mind HEY HQ to deliver a one hour taster workshop, where we'll invite participants to recall an earlier memory and use it for therapeutic writing.

Thanks for asking Thoughttree, Mind. April 16th. 2 - 3pm. We'll be there.

It's Crime - and it's violent!

Fascinating to hear that Scotland Yard is to reveal some of the gruesome contents of its Black Museum... cooking pots which tell the story of Dennis Nilsen's efforts to boil away traces of murdered young men (his murders are uncomfortably recent; he is still in prison and it's unlikely therefore, in the interests of sensitivity, that these will be shown); gall stones and remains of dentures that survived in the sludge to betray Acid Bath Murderer John Haigh.

Couldn't make it up, could you? Or perhaps...

Join us at our latest writing workshop on Crime and Violence (The Upstairs Room, Judsons - April 18 - 10am - 4pm) - and find out how it's done!

Goodbye to all that

We're mourning the loss of Sir Terry Pratchett - we have teenage sons and daughters who have been Discworld addicts. Writers like Pratchett are significant in building a fan base of young (and older!) male readers - no mean feat in our Playstation-Selfie world. Say what you like about the cosy Blyton world of Harry Potter, but J K Rowling has played her part too - again, sons and daughters alike, totally gripped.

So (apologies Mr Graves for pinching your words) its goodbye to all that talent; that inventiveness; the humour; above all, the satire.

Going Corporate

Thoughttree is going corporate! We've just had fun putting together a corporate workshop focusing on all those goodies such as team building, communication and trust... presenting to the whole group, winning creme eggs... all that stuff.

But seriously - we rather like this.  We're talking self belief.  We're talking sense of achievement! We're talking about stepping outside one's comfort zone into the scary World of Challenge.

Like the idea? Fancy a bash at our version of Chinese Whispers, Recording Memory activities and team presentations that bring out the best in your employees? Then get in touch! As we're newbies, we can probably negotiate a discount that will keep the smile on your face and put tomorrow's lunch on our table...
