ONLINE Words and Feelings - Writing Five Minutes at a Time
·OnlineOnlineWords and Feelings —
Writing Five Minutes at a TimeThis is a non-judgmental, guided online writing circle focused on expression, reflection, and connection — not on skills, critique, or perfection.
You do not need to be a writer to attend.
If you are a writer, we'd love to have you!Each session follows a simple rhythm:
- A short, thoughtful prompt is offered
- We write quietly for five minutes
- Sharing is always optional
- Then we repeat with another prompt
That’s it.
Some participants write freely and fluidly.
Some jot a few lines or fragments.
Some discover they’re writing feelings they didn’t know were waiting.The focus is on what wants to come through,
not how it sounds on the page.This is a space for:
- slowing down
- checking in with yourself
- writing honestly without pressure
- being witnessed, if you choose
There’s no feedback, no fixing, and no expectations — just five minutes at a time, in good company.
Bring a pen and paper or a keyboard.
Come curious.
Come exactly as you are.4th WEDNESDAYS - ONLINE
