join our monthly community writing circles 🤍
find details + upcoming dates for community writing circles here
I’ve been leading online circles + ceremonies for 5+ years now, and every single time, I’m in awe of the magic that happens when women are brave enough to come together in community and let themselves be witnessed in their raw expression. We can meet and move through our creative fears so much more easily when we see others showing up through theirs, too.
If you are a spiritual woman or mother moving through grief, loss or uncertainty, circling with other writers who are also walking through these potent portals is a precious gift. The energy of love, support and hard-earned power in these circles is palpable.
These circles are held on the last Wednesday of the month, alternating each month between 5pm PT / 8pm ET and 10am PT / 1pm ET to accommodate different time zones.
Upcoming Writing Circle Dates:
Wednesday March 26th at 10am PT / 1pm ET
Wednesday April 30th at 5pm PT / 8pm ET
Wednesday May 28th at 10am PT / 1pm ET
Come gather with us in circle to open your channel and write, to be deeply held and seen in loving community, to allow your grief and your rage to find a home on the page.

✨ Writing Circle Details ✨
This is not your average writing circle.
In this circle, we go deep. In this circle, we drop into our bodies and bring our full selves - our pain, our rage, our joy, our tears. Our words become beacons of the possibility pulsing within us. Our words become spears that retrieve our sacred longings from the depths of our being. Our words become golden threads that connect our beating, bleeding, grieving, fiercely devoted hearts.
Circles are one hour and will begin with a grounding meditation + guided visualization, 30 minutes of writing with optional channeled prompts, and close with optional sharing, witnessing, and 1:1 guidance from me around any challenges or struggles you’re facing with writing, grief, or sharing your work.
A recording will be available if you can’t make it live. You can also come as you are with your camera off and just be with us to write and receive.
Community Writing Circles are for paid subscribers. Access this circle and other bonuses for $9.25/month with an annual plan or $11 monthly. This is slightly higher than your average Substack subscription price because the spaces I hold are high quality. Upgrade your subscription to join and you will immediately receive an email with the link to RSVP!
How to Join us in Circle 🤍
Paid subscribers - you’re already in! I’ll be sending out a reminder email to paid subscribers only with the Zoom link and the RSVP link one week before each circle.
