The truth matters. Especially yours.

Write It Out

We just listen..our pens do the writing.

A powerful online group practice in which we make space for our stories to surface

The Practice:

1. I’ll read a short poem and offer certain lines to move us into writing.

2. We’ll write fast for 5-15 minutes, letting whatever comes to us spill out onto paper, without stopping to think or edit.

3. One by one, we’ll bravely read aloud our writing.

We’ll get to do this a few times during each session.

Groups are small and intimate; no more than 9 writers.

No judgement or feedback. Just gratitude.

No writing experience needed.

We’re not trying to impress each other by being “good.”

We’re writing to discover what we already know.

“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories.

I’ve had the privilege of building relationships with patients for nearly 15 years.

While sharing inner thoughts and feelings can be uncomfortable, it can also be healing when done in a respectful atmosphere that’s nonjudgemental.

We all need a space to express ourselves honestly. WriteItOutGroups are designed for individuals and communities seeking such spaces. Group members learn to use writing as a means of accessing their authentic voices, which can be transformative.

Members can experience an increased sense of clarity, purpose, creativity, drive, energy, connection, confidence, and wellbeing.

It wasn’t long after I began writing this way several years ago that I realized it was a practice I needed to share with as many people as possible.

What will happen when you invest less in how others see you and more in how you see yourself?

What will happen when you have the space and courage to hear what’s inside and write it out?

Welcome and thank you for being here.

WRITE FAST.

WRITE POORLY.

WRITE THE WRONG THINGS.

WRITE WHAT COMES TO YOU.

WRITE WITH NO AUDIENCE, EXPECTATION, OR GOAL IN MIND.

WRITE IN THE VOICE YOU USE TO TALK TO YOURSELF.
