Are you interested in deepening your craft within a circle of supportive writers?
Primordia Circles are designed to support you to grow your words-in-process, in the company of others.
I’ve developed this community approach to writing and sharing over decades of practice. In our circles, you will receive space to focus on your writing, followed by an opportunity to experience positive and motivating feedback from your fellow writers.
In our welcoming circle, you will find joy in connection with other creative beings, build trust with one another, and develop confidence in your willingness to share your words with a receptive audience.
Each circle offers space to focus on your own writing (usually 30-45 minutes). During this solo time, new and surprising words often emerge that inspire a whole new dynamic or layer of meaning in your story. After this period of focus, we come together and take
turns reading aloud what we just wrote, or a piece of another project we would likefeedback on (this is always optional). Before sharing, you have the opportunity to define what level of feedback you’re looking for. As an audience, we are receptive, attuned and
supportive.
Every Primordia Writing Circle includes:
- An opening grounding meditation to enter the space
- A brief check-in to share where you’re at and what you are working on today
- The offer of a writing prompt if you would like one
- 40-45 minutes of quiet, focused writing. You can generate fresh writing during this time, or work on an existing project.
- A short break to make tea and coffee, or have a small snack
- The opportunity to be an attuned, supportive listener; taking notes on what stands out in others’ writing. You too are a vessel of inspiration, insight, and motivation for the writers in your circle
- A final check-in, and a thoughtful pause to close the circle
