WRITING OFFERS US PATHWAYS…
Writing as a pathway to heal overwhelm.
Writing as a pathway to practice kind self-talk.
Writing as a pathway to move through and beyond burnout, finally.
Writing as a pathway out of feeling trapped under the heaviness of these times.
Writing as a pathway from playing small to rooting into your fullness without apology.
Writing as a pathway to being here for the mess of it all, and maybe even embracing it.
Writing as a pathway to interrogating previously unrecognized rules and conditions.
Writing as a pathway to greater boldness and tenderness.
Writing as a pathway to knowing your ancestors.
Writing as a pathway to seeing miracles.
Writing as a pathway to honoring your rage.
Writing as a pathway to forgiveness on the deepest level.
Writing as a pathway to befriending our bodies after ghosting them for years.
Writing as a pathway home: to ourselves, to each other, and to this precious world.
GROWING A WRITING PRACTICE
IS THE WAY TO UNCOVER THE PATHWAYS
THAT ARE YOURS TO FOLLOW.
“Your care in cultivating a gentle and safe space to explore writing with no pressure or outcome is truly appreciated. I felt inspired and free to simply pour out words on a page and they shaped themselves into something beautiful that I could never have constructed. My deepest thanks to you and I look forward to experiencing you again.” — Adrienne
“So, I just finished the gift of the writing experience. It was truly a gift, and I felt like I connected to the wonderful ladies in both of the rooms I was in. It felt like we were meant to meet.” — Kristen
“I took creative writing in high school about ten years ago and have wanted to come back to it since, and never had the courage. This was the first time in a decade...During every step of the process, I almost tapped out...but you'd clearly designed with such gentleness for all the introverts that it just infused the whole room with it. Your intro was so lovely, the flow was so calm, the people were all so wonderful, that I participated fully. I feel 2% more like a writer than I have in many years — I'm on cloud nine.” — Farnia
“You’ve cultivated an (in my experience) unmatched sense of safety here, a place that welcomes big emotions within clear and reasonable boundaries + humor when it feels right.”
“Maggy does such a wonderful job in creating an open, welcoming, and creative space through the Community Writing Gatherings. I was a bit anxious before the first gathering—it has been a process getting to a place of being able to identify as a writer/someone creative—and almost immediately I felt at ease and comfortable in the zoom room. Joining the gatherings has had a positive effect on my writing; engaging in a completely nonjudgmental, highly creative hour to really just play with words and imagination and associations has been super helpful and freeing. Everyone who participated was equally lovely as well and it was deeply life-affirming/healing to be in such a humane, compassionate space (particularly at this historical moment, particularly in the US). Maggy is very intentional in creating such a space and has a way with words that feels very grounding. I’ve really appreciated my experiences so far with the gatherings and look forward to engaging with this writing community in the future.” — Cordelia
“The experience of creative embodiment was a wonderful way to reconnect to my creative self, and to explore in a way that felt purposeful and meaningful. Maggy is a fantastic facilitator; she brings an empathy and lightness to the sessions that I deeply appreciated.” — Jamie
