Free Intro to the Women's Writing as Healing Workshop Series!

Do you long to initiate or deepen your relationship with your writing practice?

Are you feeling blocked, frustrated or unfulfilled with your writing?

Are you welcoming healing into your life, whether this is trauma-related or in response to anxiety or depression.?

Do you crave the inspiration, validation and accountability that a group of warm and creative women can provide?

Join an intimate circle of women for a journey of writing and empowerment! This is a 90-minute free intro to the ongoing series. I’ll share my 6 tools to support writers to grow, maintain flow and break through blocks, with examples of how women transform in these dynamic, uber-supportive circles. I'll offer prompts designed to support your inner-work and deepen your relationship with your writing, and we'll have optional share circles.

The full workshop series will be held on seven Fridays, June 23 - August 4, 2023 from 12-2 p.m. PST. Workshops are capped at about 8 women to maintain intimacy.

Each 2-hour workshop includes a guided visualization/meditation; support circle; and inspiring writing prompts designed to connect us to our stories and our wild and unique wisdom. Optional sharing of writing in a supportive context. Own your writing voice! No writing experience required.

As a celebration of their work in the program, the final workshop is a facilitated group reading, support circle and closing, where women may present a sample of the writing they did during the series.

For these workshops, Marn Norwich fuses decades of experience as a writing workshop facilitator/professional writer and intuitive energy therapist.

Deepen your relationship with your writing practice, and grow your distinct voice

Break through long-standing writing blocks that have inhibited your comfort in writing and sharing your writing

Experience deep and powerful support from the group while going through rough times/working through trauma

Connect at the level of heart and art with a dynamic and loving group of women writers, and develop close friendships that last far beyond the Workshop

"In the few months prior to finding Marn’s free introductory session, I had tried and failed to reconnect with a Writer’s group. I knew how important it was to have a circle of like-hearted souls to share my writing with. I was stuck in pain and grief and not managing to apply myself to my calling, feeling that I needed a tribe of women to buoy my drive to write.

"Halfway through the intro session, I knew this was the group for me. Marn held space and facilitated in a purposeful, encouraging and deeply compassionate way. My writing grew in its authenticity as I gained confidence every week, showing up to the love and validation of my fellow women creatives. I felt a bond forming with the group that encouraged more courageous and expressive writing, and I felt many blocks lift and my muse began to flow.

"The timing was perfect for me to find Marn’s workshop and I am extremely grateful that I did. The experience has put my book-writing project back to number one on my priority list after a five-year hiatus and provided the solidarity and confidence I needed to show up for my soul’s call to action – to write!"

“Marn's writing workshops are a healing offering that is rare to find. Each week, I felt myself open and ease into processing different layers of what was moving through my body, mind, and spirit. Her facilitation is graceful and intuitive, filled with love, powerful insights, and ways of seeing deep into you that feel nurturing and give you permission to finally see yourself with the same bright eyes. The women she attracts are truly just as caring, talented, and genuine as Marn, which created a safe, nourishing, and enjoyable space amongst us even when we were exploring heavier material. There's so much I could say about this workshop and Marn but it's a sliver of the full embodiment of the gorgeous, uplifting, and unique journey that I experienced.”

“Something truly magical transpires through Marn's facilitation. She leads by example, responding thoughtfully to each contribution, holding space, and validating where we are in our healing journey. Her intuitive, attentive approach creates a nearly palpable sense of safety and connection in the room, transforming strangers into a circle of trust, support, and inspiration...Attending her workshops is easily one of the best things I've ever done for my well-being, for my love of writing, and for my sense of wonder and appreciation for women.”

Amanda Hobbs, Vancouver, BC

“If you are looking for a safe place to reveal yourself to yourself, in the gentle, accepting company of other women, through the medium of writing, expression, inspiration and meditation…this course is for you.

 If you long for a compassionate, present, non-judgemental ‘space-holding' witness… Marn is your facilitator.

 And, if you are called to be a part of a strong, nurturing, empowering, uplifting circle of women, helping other women…let your voice ring out, it will be heard and welcomed.”

Joanna McKinnon

"Participating in Marn's writing workshop has easily become the highlight of my week. ...She has created a truly nurturing environment to allow for writers at all levels to flourish...Marn provides a space where we can all write freely, share vulnerably and hold each other with such compassion. When we get together in her workshop, it is absolute and pure magic."

Annie Phung, Vancouver, BC

“I honestly can't recommend Writing as Healing high enough. Marn is genius in her guidance through self healing. Each piece is carefully chosen not only to augment the week’s theme, but to open our consciousness, strengthen our confidence, all the while supporting us to feel comforted, expansive and inspired to write and heal.”
