Women’s Writing Circle

So grateful for those who attended the the last few months of circles and for this sweet growing community.

this circle is now full, email to be added to waitlist or newsletter ~ The theme for the August circle is

Rosebuds & Milk

One circle, limited to 10 women this month - Sunday, August 23rd | 3 to 5pm at the Asheville Botanical Gardens

This is a small and intentional circle. We will gather to write, reflect, listen, and share as we explore stories of devotion, nourishment, and receiving. Along the way, we will weave through a vision, an ancient story, the symbolism of the rose, and the ways myth can help us better understand our own lives. Bring your writing journal, something to write with, and a mug for herbal tea. No writing experience is needed, only a willingness to participate with curiosity, creativity, and care. This is a digital-free space.

To claim your spot, simply reply to this email. Spots are filled on a first come, first served basis. I will confirm your place, and payment can be sent once your spot has been confirmed.

Sliding Scale $10-30

$10 ~ Need Support | $20 ~ Sustaining Exchange | $30 ~ Helps support another's attendance

Venmo your chosen exchange to @megancairnsphillips once your spot is confirmed.

For those joining for the first time, these circles draw from years of study and lived experience in art history, symbolism, mythology, storytelling, ecopsychology, herbalism, regenerative land tending, contemplative practices, and more. Rooted in animism and seasonal rhythms, each gathering is an invitation to slow down, write, listen deeply, and remember ourselves as part of the living world.

I will send further details once your spot has been confirmed.

I hope to see you there!

With love,

Megan

Women’s Writing Circle Details ~

This is an intentional, compassionate, and grounded women's circle to write, listen, share, and weave ideas together. This circle is specifically oriented towards animism, eco-psychology, mythology, seasonal rhythms, and the language of plants. You do not need prior knowledge of any of these to participate. Each circle will have a theme, inspiration, and prompts to dive into your own writing and personal mythology. Your writing can take any shape you wish - there are no boundaries. Sharing is always optional - active listening and presence is compassionately required.

Wear comfortable clothing, bring your journal, something to sit on (pillow, blanket, etc.), a writing utensil, water, a small snack if needed, and a cup for herbal tea that I will have available. Phones and laptops are not welcome in the space as writing tools as they can be distractions.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

If all the women of the world recorded their dreams for a single week and laid them all end to end, we would recover the last million years of women's hymns and chants and dances, all of women's art and stories, and medicines, all of women's lost histories.
