Overview

Let’s journal together!

We will read from poets, writers, and/or thought leaders and do two rounds of prompted writing, modeled after Writing to Wholeness compiled by Elena Anderson Eggert and Wendy Brown-Baez (learn more about their project at writingtowholeness.com).  

After each writing, there will be time to share any thoughts that appeared.

To end each session, we will create a collaborative poem from our own writings—this is always magical.

Caveats

The intention of our Journaling Circle is to provide community with freewriting as its common thread. With that, you decide how you want to participate. During our time together, share only what you want. There is no requirement to speak and/or to offer up what you have written. Each session will also include a prompt; however, you get to decide whether to follow the prompt or not.  Maybe you’ll come for the sake of journaling accountability or to simply be in a calm and encouraging space with others to do your own self-reflecting through writing.
