“Taste and appreciate the earth’s abundance. Celebrate what you have brought into manifestation this year. Prepare yourself for the season ahead…. What is your personal harvest? How can you best acknowledge and celebrate yourself for hard work?”
Ruth Barrett in Women’s Rites, Women’s Mysteries
NEW YEAR, NEW CLASSES
Celebrate Your Personal Harvest
A New Season of Women’s Writing Begins
As we reflect on the accomplishment of another anthology, it’s the perfect moment to turn the page and begin a new season of writing. This spring, we’ll continue to explore the theme of spaces and places, while embracing opportunities for soul restoration and delving into our personal journeys. Together, we’ll travel through both our outer and inner worlds.
Start the Journey with Us
Our first gathering kicks off on Wednesday, January 29, with a Sampler class showcasing our upcoming programs and the unique style of our writing circles. Whether you’re returning after some time away or joining us for the first time, this is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with the community or try something new.
Travel as a Major Theme
This semester, we’re weaving travel into our writing adventures. The journey culminates in our first international writing retreat to the breathtaking Cotswolds in England this June. It’s going to be spectacular, and there are only two spots left! We’d love to have you join us on this unforgettable experience. Details HERE.

This seven-day retreat offers a perfect blend of writing, exploration, and connection with like-minded adventurers.

Frampton Court is a lovely estate, and the icing on the cake is The Orangery. From the brochure: “At the head of a seventeenth century ornamental Dutch canal is the exquisite Orangery. Described by Country Life magazine as “The prettiest garden building in England, The Orangery is one of the most unusual examples of Strawberry Hill gothic architecture in the country.” Who can resist this charm and beauty?
