Messy Beautiful 6-Week Fall Writing Circle
6-week Class
Tuesdays, September 22-October 27, 2026
1:00pm-2:30pm ET (US)
Messy Beautiful Writing is a simple and deeply healing timed writing practice where we use poems as doorways to our inner truth and authentic voice.
If you:
are craving a space where you are accepted exactly as you are
want room to explore all the messy and beautiful parts of yourself
are looking for connection with others that goes below superficial day-to-day chitchat
desire depth rather than performative productivity
are holding stories that want to be told
have been feeling creatively frozen or stuck
want to feel more awake, honest, and connected in your creative life
then this is the place for you!
In a non-performative, non-judgmental space, without praise or critique, we drop all effort to write well, and instead focus on writing what is true.
In our small group Messy Beautiful Writing classes, we gather each week to write and read together in an intimate and safe space.
After each of our three timed writing practices we take turns reading our piece aloud. Yes, we all read, even me! Knowing that everyone will read creates safety in the circle. It also gives us practice getting comfortable being seen just as we are.
You don’t need to make us laugh or cry although you might. What you write might be mundane, funny, sad, or angry. This is true no matter how long you do this practice.
This is not an assignment! You don't need to try to understand the poem, and you don't need to write about the poem in any way. You also do not need to be a "writer". Anyone can do this practice who is interested in a deeper connection with themselves and others. You can't do it wrong.
