Writing Circles
You’re invited to join the Writing Circle, a small group of people who come together to put words on the page. In the Circle we show up, not necessarily as writers but as people who feel more connected to ourselves and to what’s important to us when we write.
In the Writing Circle, we use a technique called Wild Writing.
In this practice we write continuously, pen never leaving the page, because it helps to keep the critic at bay, and quiet the perfectionist in us.
In the Circle, we’re encouraged to write as poorly as possible, to connect our brain, our heart and our intuition and see what emerges on the page.
In the Circle we’re reminded that we don’t need to be fancy or smart or anything other than ourselves to belong.
In the Circle we read our stories aloud and listen to others read. We don’t critique or give feedback but instead we witness by listening deeply.
This is for you if:
- you want to write but don’t make the time or space to do it,
- you’re ready for a deeper connection to yourself,
- you seek a grounding practice and suspect your true voice has more to say and are interested in hearing it,
- you have the courage to read your writing aloud and to listen to others read sometimes raw and personal material,
- you don’t seek instruction and feedback on your writing.
Schedule a time for us to talk to learn more .
During each Circle I read a poem, offer prompts and encouragement and set the timer. After we write for 10 minutes or so, we come back and take turns reading our unedited words. We honor each other by listening deeply without comment.
The Writing Circle is for you if you crave a space in your week to be with. yourself, create, express and experience a nurturing community.
“Spontaneous epiphanies always leave me convinced, once again, that there is no greater meaning to my life than what happens when I write. It gives me awareness so sharp, it punctures all layers of thought, so that I can rise. That’s what it feels like: a weightless rising to a view high enough to survey the moments of the past that led to this one.” ~ Amy Tan
