The Noticing Practice
Book a Writing Circle for Your Group
Ninety minutes, a small group, and everyone leaves with pages they didn't have that morning.
No experience needed. I bring the notebooks.
Who books these
Community organizations · workplaces · schools · nonprofits · groups of friends
Anyone who wants to give a group of people something to do together that isn't a meeting and isn't a party.
What happens
I'll show you how I fill blank pages. We start with noticing — writing doesn't start with writing, it starts with noticing — and everyone writes from there. Nobody reads out loud unless they want to.
Your group leaves with: pages, and the surprise of having written them.

This December
December is the month everyone spends on other people. Give your group ninety minutes that's actually for them — sitting down together, making something side by side, and leaving with it in hand.
“It hadn’t written creatively in awhile.
I left with a notebook full of writing.”
— Catherine, Cohort 1The method behind everything.
Everything I offer grows from one method: The Noticing Practice — a way of paying closer attention that turns everyday life into writing, creativity, and connection.
I've spent years as an educator and curriculum designer bringing it into classrooms, writing circles, and organizations. It takes a different shape in each room, but the heart holds: when we notice more deeply, the making, the meaning, and the change follow.
Every prompt,
every space,
every layer —
built on purpose.

Three to four weeks is comfortable. Two weeks is doable. December fills up early, so if you're thinking about a holiday date, reach out now — and if your date is sooner than that, ask anyway. Sometimes it works.

Up to 15 for a 90-minute circle, up to 20 for a half day. If you're a few over, that's fine — add $40 per person for a 90-minute circle, $65 for a half day, up to 5 extra people.
The cap isn't arbitrary. A circle works because everyone can hear each other. Past about 20 it turns into a class, which is a different thing.

Tables and chairs people can sit around facing each other, enough light to write by, and a room quiet enough to hear one another. That's it.
I bring the notebooks, pens, and materials. I'll need about twenty minutes before we start to set up.

A 50% deposit holds your date. The rest is due the day of the circle.
