Women’s Writing Circle

So grateful for those who attended the May circle and for this sweet growing community.

The theme for the June circle is

The Living Threshold

Our time together will move through a gentle rhythm of grounding and connection, followed by a story, guided meditation, writing prompts, space to write, and optional sharing. We will also be connecting with the medicine of a perennial wildflower and creating a flower essence together during our time.

Due to the growing interest in gathering together, there will be two circles to choose from this month ~ 

Sunday, June 14th | 4 to 6pm
or
Thursday, June 18th | 5 to 7pm

To allow more spaciousness for writing and sharing, these gatherings will remain a bit smaller than the last circle. 

We will gather outdoors at the Asheville Botanical Gardens. To reserve your place, please respond to this email with the date you plan to attend and send $5 to 15 via Venmo to @megancairnsphillips. No one will be turned away for lack of funds, so please just let me know if needed.

Please plan to bring:

~ an empty 1-2 oz tincture bottle for the flower essence (I have extras if needed)

~ a journal

~ a writing utensil

~ a cup for herbal tea

I will confirm your spot and send a few more details before the gathering. 

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.
