Writing Circle Community Agreements

We commit to the Writing Circle with the intention to share one piece of our own writing, daily or as frequently as we are able, for the period of a single moon cycle.

Recognizing that we each have different and varying capacities, we neither shame nor congratulate one another based on the level of our participation.

We receive each other’s writing offerings of with the gift of silence or at most, a simple “Thank You.”(Here’s why.)

We keep each other’s writing offerings, and the details contained within, confidential.

We do not reproduce or share anyone’s writing offerings. (If a piece is or becomes publicly available, we do not share any background context or information that we are privileged to know via our participation in the Writing Circle.)

We request specific content warnings that we would like, either by sending an email to the group directly, or by making the request to the group anonymously via Elizabeth.

We provide content warnings as requested, plus any others at our own discretion.

We take responsibility for our own safety and comfort by asking the group to honor additional group agreements if the need arises, and/or we feel free to leave the group at any time, without explanation, to prioritize self care.
