Mission Statement

The mission of Women Writing for (a) Change Grand Junction is to provide classes that emphasize writing as a powerful tool for transformation and personal growth, within a collaborative, creative community.

 

What We Do

Women Writing for (a) Change Grand Junction offers classes in a non-competitive, safe environment as women explore and develop their writing skills. In our writing circles and specialty classes participants can choose to explore a variety of genres, including journal writing, poetry, prose, essay, fiction, memoirs and more. While some participants have published, the focus is on process rather than product. Women receive useful resources and feedback relevant to their own needs and can choose to explore new writing avenues, and/or focus on current, ongoing writing projects.

Writing becomes a tool to promote personal growth through self-expression within a supportive community of other women writers. We practice self-care as we deeply listen to and honor one another’s stories and advocate for the writing shared.  Care is taken to honor each individual’s process as we meet in both large and small groups.  Time is valued as we focus on creating a safe ‘container’ for each and every woman within our community.  As we commit to one another and advocate for our own and one another’s writings, deep, often life-long connections are formed.

Here’s another glimpse of who I am and why I love the writing process: I had the privilege of doing an interview on Kosmic Voices on August 4th. What a great opportunity it was to up my writing practice, in anticipation of our topic, Writing and Personal Peace.
