Are you a hobby writer? Or perhaps you wish you could be. You welcome a time of solitude and your pen begins to move on a blank page. Sometimes you find yourself in a wonderful space, where your imagination blossoms in surprising ways; new insights or moments of beauty, or whole stories emerge, as though out of nothing. Weaving words is your happy place!

Do you ever have Writer’s Block? If so, you are definitely a writer! Your writing matters to you and you want to be back at it again. Writing is a solitary activity. Yet at the heart of it, writing is about communication and creating community.

Welcome to the writing circle. Whether your writing is flowing freely or you are in a dry spell, you are in good company here. This is not a course, nor a place where anyone will tell you what you should do or try to fix your writing. It’s a space for exploring your own unique ways of expressing yourself in a safe and supportive environment.

Writing is a gift we can give ourselves, and a powerful avenue for reflecting on your life experiences. Through times of joy and sorrow, and through times of stress, writing nourishes you, like a medicine or sometimes like a magical potion. Stories, reflections, poetry, memoirs or whatever you want to write, you are welcome here.
