The Radiant Writing Collective: online & in-person writing groups

FALL WRITING GROUPS - open now!

• Sign up here

• Questions: email me

Do you seek to know yourself better while also connecting with others in an authentic, safe space? Do you love to journal or write but can never find the time or hate staring at a blank page? Does a cheaper version of therapy sound appealing? If you're nodding along, I am thrilled to welcome you into the Radiant Writing Collective.

Radiant writing is for you if:

• you have a desire to know yourself on a deeper level;

• you want to be in community with other women;

• you are ready to be brave;

• you are open to vulnerability; and/or

• you seek more authenticity in your life.

Ok, sounds intriguing…but what IS it? On its face, it’s a guided writing practice. We will meet in groups of no more than 8 ladies. I will give you the lay of the land in the actual first class but the gist is: we’ll have a grounding moment together, then I’ll read a poem, I’ll give you jump-off lines/prompts and then we all start writing. The goal: to write as freely as possible. To say yes to whatever comes up. To not self-sensor that voice inside you. And after the set time is up, we will read aloud what we wrote. Don’t quit on me here…let me explain.

The reading aloud is my favorite part. Because no one comments on what you’ve written. There is no comparison. There is no gossip that ensues. We all simply hold space for you. It is in the sharing that we realize we are not alone.

In each class, we will get through 2-3 poems/writings. Then we’ll do it again the next week. It is truly a transformative practice and I am beyond excited to share it with you.

I hope you’ll join us for our Fall classes, but if you are not quite ready to jump in (or if the price point is an issue), please fill out this form and I’ll keep you posted about other opportunities - I will soon be launching a membership where we come together once a month online to write together and you will receive 2-3 writing prompts weekly from me for you to write to in your own time. You don’t get the community aspect of the small classes where we read aloud, but you will find power in your own voice, I promise!
