What we’re about
GREETINGS WISE WOMEN!
Come fill your well through the magic of reflective writing and soulful journaling. Our live gatherings are now offered on Zoom and I encourage you to join the Wise Women Writing Community here: Journaling for Self-Care
If you're a woman who wants to explore writing as a tool for self-nurturing, there is a place for you here. We focus on writing...
• as a vehicle for emotional well-being
• a sanctuary and respite in and of itself
• a way to retreat, reset and restore balance
We also explore what makes it challenging for us to replenish and renew, as we move towards creating sustainable practices that honor our needs for self-care and self-renewal.

YOU MAY BE WONDERING...WHAT EXACTLY IS REFLECTIVE WRITING AND SOULFUL JOURNALING?
Simply put, it's personal writing that you do for yourself, not necessarily to achieve a certain outcome or publication. It focuses on the transformative process of writing. However, we often discover that this kind of writing leads to other kinds of writing, such as poetry, articles, books and blog posts.

Although I'm a licensed psychotherapist, and reflective writing/soulful journaling can be healing and therapeutic, Wise Women Writing is not a therapy group. If you have any questions about whether it meets your needs, please contact me.
