About us
Women Writing for (a) Change, Jacksonville, is a 10-year writing community for Jacksonville writers. We are here for one purpose: To nurture and celebrate the individual voice by facilitating supportive writing circles and by encouraging people to craft more conscious lives through the art of writing and the practices of community. Creative writing in all forms is honored at WWf(a)C: journaling, fiction, poetry, prose, and collage. We offer core writing classes on a semester basis, and we also offer one-day workshops and longer retreats. You don’t have to be an experienced writer to join the circle, although many experienced writers have benefitted from it. All are invited. WWf(a)C Jacksonville is an affiliate site of Women Writing for (a) Change in Cincinnati. Since 1991, WWf(a)C has evolved into a powerful and empowering community of women and girls telling our stories. We are diverse community of women creating change in ourselves and our worlds one truth, one voice at a time.

Leadership Discernment Circle I (Sept. 19)
WWF(A)C Campus, 1610 Osceola Street, Jacksonville, FL, USOverview
Please join us for a Discernment Circle to explore what it means to join the Conscious Feminine Leadership Training Program in Jacksonville.
Please join us for a special circle with Jennifer Wolfe and Tru Leverette Hall, co-facilitators of the upcoming Conscious Feminine Leadership Training Program.
This program is intended to assist Jacksonville-based women to discern if they wish to enroll in the Conscious Feminine Leadership Training program at Women Writing for (a) Change Jacksonville during the spring of 2027.The Conscious Feminine Leadership Training program grew out of the realization that many aspects of the Women Writing for (a) Change® model inspire and support women's growth as leaders. The most important resource of this work is a community of women who embody emerging consciousness.
> "Becoming a facilitator for Women Writing for (a) Change is a journey that is worth the time and commitment. The training process, though challenging, offers immense personal growth as you refine your skills, reflect on your inner self, and deepen your understanding of what it means to hold space for others. Along the way, you form meaningful bonds with your cohort, creating a network of support and shared purpose. The experience not only enhances your abilities as a writer and leader but also fosters lasting connections, making the journey as rewarding as the destination. The opportunity to witness the transformative power of writing for others—and yourself—makes every step worthwhile."—Shani Hall
The Conscious Feminine Leadership Training program prepares participants to engage in the transformation of culture by creating, naming, and supporting leaders in the practice of conscious feminine values. For more details, click HERE.
Please join us for this Discernment Circle. A second circle will be held October 3. We highly recommend you attend both sessions. Please register for this free event HERE!
