Circles

Next virtual writing circle Saturday, August 22nd from 3-4 PM ET on Zoom

In the circles, where we face ourselves, we listen like a miracle, and I reclaim the song which is mine.

-Janice Mirikitani

In this time of change and uncertainty, we need space to reflect and to share. Let’s turn inward through our writing, and let’s turn to each other to connect, and together let’s hold space for and process all we’re carrying and hoping for. It’s a good time for a writing circle!

If you’ve never been to a writing circle before, it’s all good. Each circle is different, but always powerful and beautiful. And don’t worry if you don’t consider yourself a “real writer” — in our circle, writing is used as a tool to make room for and lift up whatever is going on inside you. Writing circles are magic! Come get some.

15% of all proceeds will be donated to the Movement for Black Lives.

Next Writing Circle for Women of Color TBA

Writing things down — whatever you’re writing down, even if you’re writing something sad or hard — usually you feel better after you do it.
-Naomi Shihab Nye

Women of color have always needed each other, and we need our own spaces to reflect, to share, to heal, and to lift each other up. Let’s turn inward through our writing, and let’s turn to each other to connect, and together let’s hold space for and process all we’re carrying and all we’re longing for. It’s a good time for a writing circle! This circle is by and for women of color, with only women of color writers on the page and in the room.

Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.
-bell hooks

Now more than ever, Black women need our own healing spaces to reflect, to share, to mourn, and to lift each other up.
