I haven’t talked much about the current Trauma and Grief Writing group – we have met once a month since January, and we have two more sessions left (May and June).
It feels sacred.
By “it”, I mean the gathering, the whispers and declarations and shouts of words that tumble onto the page, the resonant feedback, the stories themselves.
The truth of stories, raw and unapologetic. The relief and awe of feeling seen and heard.
I had a vision for this group, and the reality far surpasses my expectations.
This was my first experience with facilitating a group like this. I am asking for the participants’ feedback, to know what works and what needs changing.
Personally, a change is a shorter time span (3 months) and more frequent meetings (2x instead of once). Especially in the Fall, ending before holiday chaos begins.
I’m keeping a list of interested people for the Fall session – if you are one of these people, please fill out this form ⬇️ ⬇️
Looking forward to writing, sharing, listening, hearing and responding!
Great opportunity!
This writing group sounds amazing. Although I haven’t done much of it, I’ve been told I should write down things that happened to me. Some good, some bad. I think I would like being in a group like this
Gwynne, thank you for commenting! I will definitely add you to the list and keep you in the loop!
