Therapists’ Writing Lounge
Overview
The Writing Lounge is a supportive space for therapists to work through the anxieties and fantasies of writing. It works both as a co-working space to help therapists focus on their personal writings, where one will be able to find company virtually while they complete their drafts and as a creative writing circle twice a month where participants explore themes through prompts and sharing. It is a slow, community-based space that encourages writing, reflection, and connection.Nature:
- Coworking space: Therapists come together to complete pending work. It is a holding space that builds a sense of community.
- Creative writing: Therapists rarely get time to engage with their creative selves. This space offers that, with rest at its core. It meets twice a month, around a theme.
