Community Guidelines

Write & Well is a space for women who have always known words could heal: reading, journaling, and writing together, in a circle built on radical authenticity and genuine connection.

To keep this space feeling safe, warm, and real for everyone, we ask all participants to uphold the following:

1. No Hate, No Harm
Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other harmful behavior have no place here. Full stop.

2. What happens in the circle, stays in the circle.
Our sessions are not recorded, and we ask that you don't record, share, or republish what others share without their explicit permission. Trust is everything here.

3. This is community, not therapy — and that's a beautiful thing.
We're here for connection, conversation, and the kind of validation that comes from being truly seen. We're not a clinical space, and that's intentional. For deeper processing and integration work, we always recommend working alongside a licensed mental health professional. Don't have one? Ask — we're happy to help point you in the right direction.

4. Share honestly. Share mindfully.
We're a mixed group with varied histories. What feels light to one person may land heavy for another. A simple heads-up before diving into something heavy goes a long way — it's just good community care.

5. Compassion first. Always.
We're all somewhere on this healing journey, and none of us have it completely figured out. If something goes sideways, we address it with accountability and kindness — not silence, not shame.

6. Show up.
Our groups are small on purpose — eight seats meeting weekly — to keep things intimate and accessible. Your seat matters to the group. If something comes up and you can’t make it, just let us know, and you’ll receive a short recap and that week’s materials so you can stay with the group.

By joining, you're committing to helping us build something worth showing up for: a space where every woman feels safe, seen, and genuinely supported.
