Every life contains stories worth telling.

Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi—the art of repairing broken pottery with gold—this workshop invites participants to explore how life's challenges, transitions and defining moments can become the source material for meaningful stories.

Drawing on her experience writing her memoir So, Who Are You Anyway?, Sarah Rosse combines memoir writing, reflective journalling and meaningful conversation to help participants uncover the stories that shape identity.

Influenced by the connection-centred philosophy of Kintsugi Heroes and Sarah's own 100 Conversations Initiative, this workshop explores how storytelling, listening and reflection can deepen both our writing and our understanding of ourselves.

Through guided writing exercises, facilitated conversations and practical memoir techniques, participants will discover how personal experiences can be transformed into authentic and compelling narratives.

Every person has a story worth telling.

Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi—the art of repairing broken pottery with gold—this workshop encourages young people to see that life's challenges, changes and everyday experiences can help shape who they are becoming.

Drawing on her own journey as an author and journal coach, Sarah Rosse shares how writing, reflection and meaningful conversations can help us better understand ourselves, build confidence and discover our unique voice. Through stories from her book So, Who Are You Anyway?, she demonstrates how asking honest questions can lead to greater self-awareness, resilience and personal growth.

Inspired by the connection-centred philosophy of Kintsugi Heroes and Sarah's 100 Conversations Initiative, this workshop explores how listening to others, sharing ideas and reflecting on our own experiences can strengthen our sense of identity and belonging.

Through interactive activities, creative journalling, guided conversations and storytelling exercises, participants will discover that every experience—whether exciting, challenging or unexpected—has the potential to become part of their story. They will leave with practical tools to express themselves with confidence, reflect on their experiences and recognise that their voice matters.

A Carers Week conversation with Sarah Rosse and Author & Carer Sarah Martin

100 Conversations: Carers Edition is a special online conversation created for Carers Week, bringing together author Sarah Rosse and author and carer Sarah Martin for an honest and reflective discussion about the experiences, challenges and often unseen realities of caring.

Through a shared conversation, Sarah and Sarah will explore what happens when caring becomes a significant part of your identity, the moments when carers can lose sight of themselves, and the importance of being seen, heard and supported as a whole person—not just through the role they provide.

Drawing on lived experience, storytelling and reflection, this conversation will explore themes of identity, resilience, mental health, connection and the power of sharing our stories.

This interactive online event will include a conversation between Sarah Rosse and Sarah Martin, followed by an opportunity for audience members to ask questions, share reflections and be part of a wider conversation celebrating the voices and experiences of carers.

Whether you are a carer, someone supporting a carer, or simply wanting to better understand the caring journey, this event offers a space for connection, compassion and meaningful conversation.

Two stories. One conversation. Countless reflections.

100 Conversations. One Question. Countless Stories.

The 100 Conversations Initiative is a storytelling project designed to spark meaningful conversations, encourage connection and celebrate the stories that shape who we are. Through conversations with people from all walks of life, the initiative, created by Sarah Rosse of Intentional Writing for Wellness, explores themes of identity, resilience, belonging, courage, grief, joy and the experiences that connect us as human beings.

Introducing 100 Conversations: Café Edition

The Café Edition brings these meaningful conversations into welcoming community spaces, creating an opportunity for people to slow down, connect with others and share their stories. Guided by thoughtful prompts, each event invites participants to reflect on their own experiences, listen deeply and discover the common threads within our stories.

What to expect at a Café Conversations event

A Café Conversations event is more than just a coffee catch-up — it’s an opportunity to slow down, connect and share stories in a welcoming space.

Closing Night Litfair: How Long is Forever?

A word used in songs, scripture, and everyday language. ‘Forever’ carries a certain transcendence and comfort. Close out the festival by hearing writers’ relationships to the word — moments they wish could live on eternally, to how they might live differently, if our time here was endless.   

Taking place within the majestic grounds of the Abbotsford Convent, wander through stalls selling zines, books, and other handmade wares. Mingle with writers, artists, small press publishers and grassroots collectives.
