There are now more of us to invite you in...!

Our community of leaders has grown and deepened...and we would like to invite you to do the same, even--especially--in these pandemic days.

Writing circles, a summer SoulTending Day, autumn writing circles by Zoom--all of these and more will be emerging as each of us listens to the Call of Circle in our lives.

Feel free to explore the various pages here, with dates, times, offerings and new leaders well-versed in the wisdom and practices of Women Writing for (a) Change...

...We are a circle-way community, transforming lives one circle at a time.

Short-Series Circles

Autumn Circles via Zoom

After much communal discernment, we have decided to simply plan on holding our Fall Writing Circles on the Zoom platform, thereby insuring a safe and healthy atmosphere for our writers, regardless of age and circumstance. 

We are delighted to welcome two new facilitator pairs into the journey of the Circle!! Their own words to introduce themselves, how they came into circle, can be found here.

Dayton: Stephanie Keinath & Jenny Cruz
Columbus: Heather Monkmeyer & Sherri Scholl

Deep belly gratitude for them stepping into this sacred flow...!

A Day of Soul-Tending (August 22)
(in lieu of Summer Retreat)

Come (via Zoom) into a spacious day of opening circle, gathering community, solitary reflection, sharing (or not, as you choose) and deepening our listening for the season(s) ahead.
August 22nd, 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Saturday

Led by Lisa Heckaman & Lisa Hess

(Our bowing to the reality that our summer Retreat is simply not feasible, given the global pandemic)

Deepening and Listening...
​Moving into the New...

Lisa & Lisa found themselves in a flow of new movement and wonder, starting the beginning of May. We are realizing the size of our leadership sisterhood and the beckoning of potentially new Invitations, bringing the Circle into new spaces, new communities! I wonder what will grow in our midst next?!? :). Still deeply connected and available via email and phone, we are listening for all that now has the Freedom to emerge in the More of us.

We celebrate the new facilitator teams holding the Core and Short-Series Circles. We delight in this strange time of slower pace and struggle in the challenges that our world is facing. Hess is attuning to more of the Rest she needs; Heckaman is breathing into new spaces calling her in family and community. We will enjoy dipping back into Circle-holding, as way opens, from time to time.  We will miss seeing you fabulous writing women each week! 

We are so very blessed, now that our leadership circle has so many steadying, wise, soulful, fierce, funny women steeped in the motherline here...
