Writing Circles

A Writing Circle for a Moon Cycle

Nourish and be nourished! For an entire moon cycle, an intimate group shares, via email, the fruits of our writing / process notes / love letters with each other. Ask for the type of feedback you’re looking for or simply be withnessed in your practice.

Open to a limited number of people who can commit to participating for the entire period. Please consider your intentions for being part of this type of collaborative experiment / what project(s) you might like to work on / what forage or fodder you could gather / if there’s anything you’d like to ask from — or offer to — your fellow fairies to make this process more fruitful.

Upcoming start dates in 2024 are:

  • Fairy Ring Part the First: 21 June (FULL)
  • Fairy Ring Part the Second: 5 July (FULL)
  • Future start dates TBD! Click the button below to let me know you’re interested and I’ll be in touch.
Yes Please

How do these Writing Circles actually work?

You do your writing / creating / collaging / letter writing / zine making / process tweaking… however you usually do that

As often as you like*, share something (see first paragraph above for ideas!) with the group by emailing it to the group’s email address. You can control whether you receive those emails as soon as they are sent, or as a daily digest.

If you are moved to reply to what someone has shared — which is encouraged, especially if that person has asked for specific types of feedback — reply directly to that person. (By default, responses will go only to the person who sent the email.) Or, if you want everyone to see your response, you can choose to reply to the entire group.

That’s it! Those of us who have participated in this sort of exchange before agree: this deceptively simple mode of exchange does wonders for accountability, inspiration, and generally feeling less alone as a writer.

I hope you’ll join me ❤

*there are no “Shoulds” here, and we recognize that different people will be able to participate at different levels. And… please consider whether this is an appropriate time for you to commit to a writing circle ❤ As a guideline: if you think you’ll be able to share at least once a week AND be present with what other people share during the cycle (whatever that means to you), Huzzah!
