NEW SUNDAY GROUP JUST ADDED!
WELCOME!.…Join us on a fun, shared writing journey that will nurture your heart and spirit as well as spark your creativity. Calling all Caregivers: Past/Present/Future – even if you are caregiving just yourself. This is an 8 week tele-writing group just for caregivers; by telephone in the comfort of your own home.
Uncover insights, honor the challenges, stories and what’s good in our lives as we write, connect, heal and grow in a safe and supportive circle of women.
There is a great power in a writing circle. Connection, strength and wisdom. Each of us has a lifetime of stories and memories waiting to be tapped, expressed and woven together. In a storycircle, your stories have a voice; with the power to heal and inspire us as we “meet ourselves on our own journey.”
Using structure shared in Natalie Goldberg’s book, Writing Down the Bones, we learn to deepen our trust in our own voices and find fresh, new and sometimes unexpected meaning as we “stir the soup” of our stories. Our creativity often surprises even ourselves!
All women caregivers are welcome to this safe, supportive group! You don’t need any prior writing experience. You will be surprised how easy it is…and you will be guided through the process.
The circle begins with a welcome and an overview, followed by a guided meditation and a timed writing with prompts. Then, it’s your choice…if you wish, to read aloud what you have written. Storycircle members call it a gift – the affirming experience of sharing our stories, being heard and championed by the circle!
“Through Sharon’s thoughtful leadership, the storycircle creates a caring community for caregivers like me. I was going through a hard time; her ability to engage and support me, as well as the other telephone participants was an important process in my healing. Camus said it well, in the middle of winter, I found in me an invisible spring.” Connie, Educator, NYC
“I am a caregiver caring for myself! The writing circle is like Forest Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get…always a written surprise that reveals me to myself. Sharon generously brings the group through a short relaxation process, a focus and then we’re off writing. The experience is beyond imagining; it expands me.” ~ Linda, Speech Therapist, Houston
“The experience, under Sharon’s safe guidance has given me a much-needed creative outlet – I watched myself “grow and glow” through the gentle and supportive input of the group. It is as satisfying and rewarding to write my own stories as it is to hear the others. I highly recommend this group.” ~ Robyn, International Travel Advisor, Austin
“Sharon is an excellent and thoughtful facilitator. The writing circle is a wonderful way to connect with others as well as myself and my thoughts.” ~ Betty, Executive, Santa Monica
