THE PRACTICE: MONTHLY JOURNALING SESSIONS

come write with us

COMMIT TO YOUR WRITING PRACTICE

How often do you have the desire to write but you look at the blank page in front of you and don’t know where to start?

I created The Layers monthly subscription to provide a weekly flow of self-discovery ideas for your writing practice, as well as a community environment that offers inspiration, connection, and accountability.

“We should write because writing brings clarity and passion to the act of living. Writing is sensual, experiential, grounding. We should write because writing is good for the soul. We should write because writing yields us a body of work, a felt path through the world we live in.” — Julia Cameron

WRITE WITH US

I know how hard it can be to write.  I also know how good it feels having written. And how good it feels to connect with other people who love words, language and self-expression. Every time I host a writing workshop, I set out to help my clients and participants break down barriers to writing and find new pathways to the stories they need to tell. This event is an extension of that effort: to create resources and outlets for people to heal, grow, and express themselves through writing. 

These workshops will be particularly helpful if any of these statements sound like you:

  • Writing is an important part of your self-care practice, or at least you want it to be.

  • You have creative aspirations, but you don’t have any peers or mentors who understand and support your vision.

  • You have stories and experiences that you want to explore through writing and share with a supportive community. (sharing is always optional)

  • You want creative inspiration and fuel for your writing practice.

  • You struggle with procrastination, imposter syndrome and/or perfectionism when it comes to writing.

  • You want to feed your own creative process and build a long-term writing habit.

  • You want to build courage and confidence in your creative voice.

My name is GG and I’m an author and workshop facilitator who loves deep questions about life, love, learning and letting go. I believe that writing can be a self-discovery tool for everyone. You don’t have to think of yourself as a ‘good’ writer to benefit from the personal growth and expansion that comes from having a committed writing practice. At our core, we’re all creative beings who crave inspiration and outlets to express ourselves. You can learn more about my work here.
