What is a Writer’s Circle?
Our Brave Healer Writer’s Circle is a community for holistic healers, coaches, and professionals who want the support, community, and accountability of a writing group! Our mission is to share writing as a healing practice, and a way to build your business.
The Brave Healer Writer’s Circle is created to help you improve your writing skills, but from that centered embodied space inside you. Our goal is to help you stay on track with your writing practice and provide a schedule and community for support, growth, encouragement, inspiration, and honest feedback.
Author, and Story Doula, Laurie Morin is the director of the writer’s circle and co-leads sessions with Laura Di Franco, Dr. Erika Putnam, and other guest instructors. We’re here to to help you stay accountable to this magical craft and share our community with you. I know you’re going to love it.
