The Writing Circle

Are you a woman who loves to write? And you’d like to write more?

Would being heard, witnessed and received within an intentional creative field, make all the difference?

If so, you are very welcome here. I’m forming a Writing Circle within the Tribe in Transition Community – and I’d love to connect with you.

This  will be a Circle for no more than eight women. An intimate space for companionship, open-minded inquiry, discovery and practice.

This Circle is not about mastering the craft of writing, producing a book or trying to get somewhere.

Our focus is on writing for the joy of it.  Slowing down, being present, making space to connect and explore.

What we’ll do together

We will meet twice a month, over four months, online, for 90 minutes each session.

We’ll start with a gentle 22-day writing practice to nurture a rhythm of writing a little every day .

Then we’ll  explore themes of soul, transition, creative emergence and story.

We’ll co-create a trusting space where we all feel safe and free to share our writing and to reflect on our creative process together. We’ll approach writing as a practice for relationship, truth-telling and integration.

Imagine sitting in a small circle of thoughtful women, each bringing their words, questions and discoveries. A space where writing is a doorway into deeper awareness, and where our stories are received with curiosity, care and respect.

About Rose

Writing has been a constant companion throughout my lifetime – a source of inspiration, joy, guidance and meaning.  I’ve written in many forms – journaling, poetry, stories, full length books exploring the psycho-spiritual journey, training manuals for community leaders, blogs and online learning programmes.

Writing has given me a place of refuge, regeneration, joy and fulfilment. I love writing because there’s always more to learn and I’m always a beginner.

In this Circle I’m not here as your writing teacher or coach, I’ll be holding the space as I explore alongside you.

At the beginning, two of my story collections — Becoming an Embodied Soul and Soul Inspired — will act as gentle stimulus for our conversations and writing.  And then we’ll follow what’s emerging.

Here are some of the themes I’m imagining delving into with you:

Stories are powerful and shape our reality – how can we write stories that move and inspire?

What are your sources of inspiration and how do we stay open to soul inspiration, nurture it, bring it into form and allow it to guide us?

What is your experience of living as an embodied soul within a fragmenting world?

In this video I explore some of the ways in which writing has been a trusted companion that has never let me down.

I describe how writing has been my sanctuary and refuge in troubled times.

A space to expand into the freedom of the imagination.

A practice for connecting with my true voice, wisdom and soul.

A safe space for experimentation and flying on the wings of my authentic self.

A space for deepening, stillness, deep listening, solace.

 My vehicle for moving through grief and and gathering the gifts of transition.

Daily writing grounds and supports me. There’s a point at which knowledge drops down from the head  and becomes soul knowing.

I see from a higher perspective than every day consciousness – from the top of the mountain rather than from the valley floor.

Writing is a transformational act – leading to forgiveness, compassion and self-compassion.
