Moving Through:
Navigating the Transitions in Our Lives (whether we chose them or not)
—a 3-month series of virtual writing circles—
Calling all who are in the thick of it and trying to find their way through!
Are you grappling with an ending, a new beginning, or the uncertainty in between?
Is a change happening (or looming) that you’re struggling with?
Do you need to get unstuck?
What if you could give yourself space and community as you move through?
Are you ready to be intentional about navigating the transition in your life — whether you chose it or not?
Moving Through is a series of 3 virtual writing circles where you’ll practice honoring endings, surrendering to the messy middle, and moving toward a new beginning — all in a community of courageous hearts reaching for the same thing.
In these circles, you will experience:
Listening deeply to other voices and to your own
Speaking your truth (only as much as you want to share)
Resonance
Being seen and heard and held
A trusted space of depth and connection with kindred spirits

About me
As a coach and as your witness, I am here to hold space for you in the deep. As a facilitator and a certified leader of writing circles, I know that virtual spaces can still be sacred and deeply connected, and I’m devoted to creating them. As a circle-holder and circle participant for many years, I treasure that being in these healing spaces can nourish and transform.
What others have experienced in the circle…
“The circles served as a place of healing for me, a tremendous gift.”
“I felt no judgment. I felt others were struggling the same as I, so appreciate not feeling alone.”
“It was an amazing gift to be seen and heard while creating space for others to do the same.”
“This was a beautiful circle. So full of compassion and courage and deep support. Space for all. Nourishment for the long haul.”
“The weekly reflections feel like mini-inoculations against the world’s hard shit, and this space together is what really heals.”
This is not for you if…
-you find silence unbearable

This is for you if…
-you love to go deep
-you are introspective
-you understand the power of community,
and of good boundaries
-you want to step into a fuller expression of yourself

We’re not meant to navigate transitions alone.

FAQs
Q: What if I’m not a real writer?
A: I bet you are. But even if you’re really, really not, it’s more than okay. In the circle, we use writing as a way to bring out what’s happening inside us, not in an attempt to write well.
Q: Will the circles be recorded?
A: No. To honor the confidentiality of the circle, the calls will not be recorded. I will send out the writing prompts and any other exercises for you to work with on your own, and we can set up time to work through it together 1:1 if you like.
