Living Forward Circle

Living Forward Circle is a gathering where women come to spend a little time slowing down. We write for a few minutes on a simple prompt, share what we wrote or felt and talk about what matters. We are heard. Not critiqued. Not coached. Just heard.

It's not a writing class, and it never becomes one. You don't need to be a writer, or even a confident one, to belong here. You just need to show up, be present, and be willing to come as you are to share as openly as you'd like and hold space for others to do the same. Not fixed. Not advised. Not judged. Just heard.

Meet the Facilitator

Hi there. I'm [Your Name]

One or two sentences about who you are and why you started this Circle. Keep it warm and personal, not a resume.

What to Expect

Each gathering unfolds the same simple way:

1. Arrive and settle in. No small talk pressure, no need to have anything figured out.

2. Answer one small prompt, in writing. Five minutes, no right answer.

3. Share as much or as little as you want. Reading, summarizing, or passing are all welcome.

4. Be heard, never advised. This happens three times each session, then we close together.

What this Circle is Different

Most women's groups tend to quietly turn into advice sessions. This one never does.

No advice, ever. Brief comments are welcome; feedback and fixing are not.
What's shared here stays here. No recordings, and nothing repeated outside the room.
I'm not a guru performing wisdom from the front of the room. I'm on this journey too.
We come as we are, to listen and share what matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a good writer?

No. If all you write is three words, that's enough.

What if I miss a week?

Come back whenever you can. There's no penalty and no catching up required.

Is this therapy?

No. It's a peer support and reflection space, not a substitute for professional care.

Can I just listen some weeks?

Yes. You can always pass.
