workshop method.

privacy

• What we write stays in the workshop.
• Outside discussion is discouraged.
• The work itself is addressed not the writer.

equality

• All writers are equal here regardless of experience or educational background.
• Writing is an art form.
• We discuss our work as art.

trust

• Boundaries are respected.
• The writer is the expert on their own work.
• We provide a personal & considered response to fellow writers.
• We are not critics.

listening

• Hearing the writer read their work aloud requires mindful awareness.
• We work with a given set of tools to help us provide the most supportive and useful feedback.

Astrology writing groups will be geared toward intermediate level astrologers who have at least a basic knowledge of their charts and are interested in experiential analysis through cathartic writing as a means of personal growth and development.
