From the Facilitator: Janie Baer walked into her first Women Writing for (a) Change class around 20 years ago unable to share a word of my writing. I had almost but not quite lost access to my voice. But at Wwfac I found that voice — strong, clear, quirky, and mine. I want this for everyone in our circles.

Gathering the Harvest: A Writing Workshop
with Leighann Rechtin
Autumn invites us to pause and take stock. What has grown? What has ripened? What are we ready to gather and carry forward?
In this Saturday afternoon reflective writing workshop, we'll use seasonal imagery, guided prompts, and shared reflection to explore the harvests of our lives. Together we'll consider what has nourished us, what lessons have emerged, and what we may be ready to release as the seasons shift.
This workshop is less about productivity and more about acknowledgment. It is an opportunity to honor where you've been and notice what is ready to come with you into the next season.
- Open to: All Genders, Ages 18+
About the Facilitator: Leighann believes writing is one of the most powerful ways we come home to ourselves. As an educator, facilitator, and lifelong learner, she creates welcoming spaces where curiosity, reflection, and connection can flourish. Whether writing poetry, personal stories, or simply noticing the world with fresh eyes, she hopes participants leave feeling more grounded, inspired, and connected to their own voice.
