Women's Free Monthly Muse Lab Writing Circle

Are you ready to begin your writing journey, deepen your relationship with your practice, take it to the next level and/or claim your identity as a writer?

Are you feeling blocked, frustrated or unfulfilled with your writing? Do you crave the joy and freedom that comes from connecting with your true voice, your profound story?

Do you long to write more creatively, to burst beyond the confines of your comfort zone, self-judgment and societal expectation?

Are you tired of second-guessing yourself and over-editing?

Do you crave the inspiration, validation and accountability that a group of warm and creative women can provide?

Join an intimate circle of women for a monthly evening of writing and empowerment!

The Muse Lab Monthly Circle provides an opportunity for women to deep-dive into their writing with the use of carefully-selected prompts. Cultivate significant connections while exploring and expanding your writing-self.

Each circle begins with a 10-minute guided visualization and check-in.

After this, the group writes to 10-minute prompts conducive to growing ourselves as writers, with a chance to share writing after each mini-session. (This is a listing circle and not a critique).

No experience necessary!

Please note that your on-screen presence is necessary for these events.

Take your writing beyond your perceived limitations through methods developed to encourage you to dive into your practice. Receive the supportive feedback you need to step confidently into your writing identity.

Blast through your blocks with innovative prompts that get you writing in entirely new directions, with the encouragement of a group of like-minded women and an experienced mentor.

Flourish with creative abundance as you break out of ruts and courageously write your truth from the depth of your being. Experience the joy of surpassing your comfort zone and contacting your wild and unique wisdom.

Connect at the level of heart and art with a dynamic and loving group of women writers.

"Before taking Marn’s workshops, I had never read my work out loud and was uncomfortable with the idea of sharing anything I had written, as it was never “good enough”. I come from an academic background and had never thought to give time and attention to creative writing in the same way I would to other forms of communication.

"Taking Marn’s workshop series, specifically the Muse Lab, has helped me beyond words. I’ve stepped into my tone and voice as a writer, explored different types of storytelling and feel comfortable with the long and complex stages of creating a literary work.

"I’ve learned to let go of my perfectionism, lean into my creativity and trust that I’ll be able to edit and build upon what I initially create. Beyond my improvements as a writer from these courses, I’ve grown as a person and find the weekly meetings a grounding force for my personal growth. The connections I’ve found with the other women in these circles have done wonders for my self-esteem and trust in myself as a writer. If you’re looking to start writing or are ready to develop your writing practice, I can’t recommend Marn’s workshops enough — they have truly changed my life."
