Explore the Spring Sessions ↓FOR THE LOVE OF SHE
A slow Sunday afternoon
to feel, sense, write, express & connect.
Come as you are. Come curious. Come ready to slow down, drop out of your head, and surprise yourself.
Poet, songwriter and guide Aloha Jacqueline creates a warm, unhurried space where gentle prompts and experiences invite you to notice what is alive in you, find your own words, and connect with the circle.
You don't need to be a writer. You only need to be willing to feel.
Nothing you write has to be shared. Everything is an invitation.
Expect a relaxed, intimate and pressure-free afternoon with space to write, reflect, listen, talk, laugh, pause and connect.

THE CIRCLE
What happens when we gather?
We slow down. We listen inwardly. We respond to carefully held writing invitations and allow language to emerge without needing to make it polished, impressive or complete.
There is space to write, reflect, listen, talk, laugh, pause and connect. You choose what you share and what you keep for yourself.
The invitation is not to write well. It is to notice what becomes possible when we give ourselves time, attention and permission to express what is present.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
Praise From Past Writing Circles
★★★★★
“This was an experience that made me feel at home. I found inspiration, ideas and discovery; a lovely sense of community, a place to see and be seen.”
J“A calm, feminine space of connection and sharing.”
Jana“Gentle, skillfully-held session with a variety of generative writing prompts. Being in a specifically sapphic space was lovely (first time for me) and I found that it elicited a different kind of creativity from me. Aloha's facilitation is thoughtful and inviting and created a supportive space for exploration.”
Anonymous“The session was a fantastic opportunity to get inspired and explore what I've been trying to articulate for some time.”
