“Poetry gives you permission to feel.” – James Autry

Poetry provides powerful prompts for reflective writing and group inquiry offers a doorway into our own thinking. By writing and reflecting together, we can learn from this unusual time, and face it with loving curiosity.

Writing together can:
• Surprise us, Mend us, Renew us
• Strengthen your inner voice
• Guide your creative process

Past participants have shared this about my writing circles.

“Thank you for your loving energy, leading us to a place within ourselves that we either didn’t know was there or had been untapped for sometime. Your deep listening is a gift, and I feel held in it.”  – Carrie

“Thank you for hosting these delightful writing circle events. The overall experience for me has been enthralling and poetically invaluable, to be able to engage with other writers’ words and thoughts.   – Ivor

“The writing circle is truly a very special part of my week.  I never come away without feeling something deeply or being profoundly touched.  I am amazed at what comes out of the end of my pen.  Surely, I must be tapping into something that has nothing to do with my finite self, but rather something that the universe is offering up and we are but conduits….. ”        – Nancy (Listening Inward Series)
