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+

Writing from the Body: Finding the Wisdom Beneath the Story
with Amy Stenger-Sullivan
Mind-body awareness is a key component of self care, and has never been more important than in these stressful times. In this 3 hour class we will first very briefly cover the basics of how the nervous system affects mental health, and then move into prompted reflective writing and optional sharing, using our traditional Women Writing practices and mind-body practices to explore when and how different states of our nervous system are "talking" to us through our writing.
Open to: All Genders, 18+
About the Facilitator: Amy Stenger-Sullivan is devoted to helping people understand and befriend their nervous systems — through therapy, training, and writing circles. She believes writing and words are a powerful pathway to emotional safety and connection.

Under the New Moon - Fall 2026
with Mary Ruth Kamp
Lean into lunar cycles. Create and practice supportive patterns. Explore the energy of the New Moon—the energy of letting go and beginning again. Invite the darkness of the New Moon to aid and protect you as you go within to listen for what your system wants/needs. The circle is created and held under the new moon, with the support of astrology and tarot as soft structures (... think spider webs, mycelium, fascia.) You can expect time for grounding, listening, creating, writing, and exploring within ourselves, and sharing with one another.
- Class runs: Virtually each month on the evening of the New Moon
- Open to: All Genders, 18+

Ordinary Wonders: A Writing Workshop
with Leighann Rechtin
Inspired by Wendy Cope's beloved poem The Orange, this Saturday afternoon workshop explores the extraordinary hidden within the everyday.
What small moments bring delight? What familiar objects deserve a second look? What ordinary experiences have quietly shaped your life?
Through poetry, reflection, and generative writing, we'll practice paying attention to the simple gifts that often go unnoticed. Together we'll discover how wonder is not something we find but something we cultivate.
Come prepared to slow down, notice deeply, and celebrate the beauty of ordinary things.
