What we’re about
Are you looking to write more and find community? Free-Range Writing is a radically supportive online writing community for everyday women. Designed for anyone, from seasoned writers to the occasional journaler, Free-Range Writing Women’s Circles gather like-minded women to harness the power of embodied writing to deepen their connection to themselves and others. Free-Range Writing Women’s Circles are nonjudgmental places where transformation and healing can occur. They are intimate, safe, and sacred.
Free-Range Writing is a transformative timed writing process that we use to uncover, awaken, reclaim, and tell our stories. We learn to bypass the critical mind and let our pen and mind roam freely, allowing the emotions and stories moving through us to spill onto the page.
Here’s how it works: I read a poem and then offer a line of poetry as an inspirational writing prompt. Afterward, the group goes around the circle and shares what they wrote while the others practice silent, generous listening. There is no judgment. No critiques. We write, share, and bear witness to others as they courageously do the same.
This “campfire-style” sharing is where the real magic happens. Students find that reading their writing aloud and sharing it with others gives their words more power and helps them let go of painful emotions. Are you ready to write more in 2025? If so, please join a circle.
