Shame Free Me

 A writers group for chronically ill and invisible disabilities, an LGBT & neuro inclusive space. 

 This is not a support group format, it’s a creative space where we honor each other’s journeys and bring self awareness and compassion to our own. Having a chronic illness literate, neurodivergence & disability accommodating and LGBT inclusive community brings a deeper awakening and understanding for each other’s journeys, and many times these communities overlap. We need each other. We need to know that we are not alone, and that our stories have common threads and shared experiences, thus seeing ourselves reflected in each other, as uniquely brilliant as we all are. To be seen is one of the greatest gifts of all. To express oneself with wonder and awe so freely that it touches the depths of the soul, is an experience I want you to share with you. 

Participation is at your comfort level. You do not need experience as a writer, just a willingness to show up for you. Please email in advance if you have any questions about accommodations we might make. We will have inspiration and writing prompts and opportunities for some people to share an excerpt of their work. We will agree to a code of honor and privacy at the beginning of the meeting. Meeting will close to new participants 5 minutes after start time. A special Thank You to inspiration Ann Randolph whose writing groups informed this one. Thank you.
