WRITE with us!
1 year accountability container
Do you have a project in mind but struggle to find dedicated time or sufficient courage to manifest it? What would happen if you devoted yourself to a writing project for one year with the support of others with a similar same goal?
Registrations are now open for our one year container where we meet in-person in Boulder once a month to practice creative writing and reflect each others brilliance in support of our individual projects.
We see writing as play. We exist to help each other use obstacles as fuel, grow from the inside out, and believe that what wants to be born matters.
We don’t need to accomplish anything in particular - but we believe that what wants to emerge will inevitably come through when we reflect each other in love, play and sincerity. There will be tools, resources and methods available to help us reach our goals.
Then at the end of the year, we celebrate what we have put out it othe world, big or small!!

Dates will be coordinated between group members once the container opens.

Community offering. No fee.

WHEN & WHERE
We offer online and in-person facilitated writing containers that supports your creative flow and becoming as a writer. We see writing as an emerging mystery accessed through play and practice.
When we write in community with intention, we have noticed that the muse simply cannot resist us.
Let’s Write together!
We facilitate in-person writing series in Boulder, CO and online. Find out about upcoming writing sessions by subscribing to our newsletter.
We facilitate the container from start to finish, you just show up with pen & paper or your writing device and let us guide your journey.
We also do pop-up salons in person and can facilitate writing at your event or for your group per request!
what to expect
In our gatherings we:
respond to writing prompts
write in timed sessions
share what emerges
witness one another’s words without critique
This approach allows writing to become something alive — a way of listening, discovering, and connecting with what wants to be said.
In some of our writing series we set aside non-facilitated time for each participants individual writing practice and projects.
“Fear is not a reason to stop writing; it is often a sign that you are writing exactly what you need to.”
