How I love our circle.  I'm finding a new and different writer-self in me, reclaiming something dormant and sleeping....  I see clearly that to be without a circle of women is to be deprived.  The fulfillment and the soft love for each other becomes my spiritual food and mends my hermit self.

Tell It Like It Is

Delve into Story

Writers with current projects use Centered Writing Practice™ to respond to prompts specifically designed to generate material for their project (fiction, creative nonfiction, or memoir). We also read, listen, and respond to what has been read. Click here for more class details, class schedules and registration information.


Classes provide:   

  • a small group of 12 or fewer
  • a safe, supportive setting in which to nurture your creative spirit
  • a community of women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and writing experience, from emerging to accomplished
  • a life’s classroom in which, over time,  you learn fearlessness—the ability to use your vulnerability as a strength—in order to step into your power as a woman and a writer

When women gather in a circle with the intent to support one another in taking personal risks, the circle is sacred space.



To maintain safety within the circle, we—

  • honor confidentiality and treat every story as fiction
  • listen with our hearts as well as our  minds
  • focus on the writing and thereby avoid support or therapy group behaviors of asking personal questions or giving personal advice
  • use supportive comments to talk about a person’s writing and avoid advice on how to improve or change what someone has just written
  • respect each person’s ability to take responsibility for her emotional state. When a writer has an emotional response to her own writing, the group holds the space for her experience without attempting to fix it.
