The intent of the Writing Life Circle:

To provide a safe place for women to tell their stories.
To find the still centre of ourselves and of the circle.
To write what has heart and meaning for us.
To realize our role as leaders in a circle of leaders.
To remember the divine feminine and embrace our female and male teachers.
To becoming a community of peers slowing down to a natural rhythm.

What Current Writing Life Circle Members have to say:

Mary Ann Moore is an inspiration for any aspiring writer. I have participated in many of her writing circles and I plan to continue her workshops for a long time. I have gained confidence in my writing and I have developed a new perspective by being connected in my community through a circle of writers. Mary Ann is a wonderful teacher and an accomplished writer. I would encourage anyone who is interested in writing to join the Writing Life Circle.

Marlene Baltare

The writing circle was meaningful, insightful, moving and also fun. I felt privileged to be included among such wonderful women who shared their unique and precious experiences, feelings and thoughts.

Rie Okamura

[The writing circle] helped me immensely as I was able to get feedback on my writing in a safe and supportive way. Being with other writers inspired me and kept me motivated to continue with my writing. Your wonderful quotes, prompts and reference books provided me with resources that I would have never accessed on my own. It was like being given a writer’s toolbox filled with a limitless source of inspiring tools.

About Mary Ann Moore: As a poet, writer and circle facilitator, I bring many years of experience, passion and playfulness to writing in community. I find great delight in seeing people awaken their creative potential. My poetry has appeared in chapbooks published by Leaf Press, literary journals, websites, anthologies and on CD: When My Heart is Open. My latest chapbook of poetry is Those Early Days, Hopeful (Leaf Press). I’ve created a mentoring program called Writing Home: A Whole Life Practice which you can link to here: http://www.maryannmoore.ca/flyingmermaid/writinghome.html
