I lead small relational writing groups. The next two groups begin Thursday, 9/4/25 and Friday 9/5/25.
What is a relational writing group? Think of it as…
A space where there’s no pressure to perform, impress, or self-censor
Writing to get in touch with your own voice, thoughts, and felt experience
Sharing your writing not to be critiqued—but to be heard, felt, and witnessed
Responses from others that focus on how your words moved them
A place where both the writing and the relationships are part of the healing
It’s not about being a “writer.” It’s about being real, and being in community with others doing the same.
Format:
Optional prompts to get started
Freewriting - no editing, no pressure
Optional reading aloud (only if and when you want)
Relational reflection from others

Frequency: Weekly (with breaks for holidays, travel, or illness)

Next Steps:
If you’ve written with me before, just reach out to re-join.
If you're new, let’s connect first. I do a short screening call with all new members to make sure it’s a good fit for you and the group. You can book a call here.
Writing Groups
“I cannot capture in words what this group meant for me. I was in the presence of women of incredible strength who inspired me to open up and be vulnerable. I was moved by their experiences and writing. When I was feeling empty and defeated, the time spent in this group gave me what I needed to fight on. I never imagined a sisterhood could be created in a few weeks, but I cannot wait for the next session to be reunited with the group.” - C
I'm hoping to join Lauren's writing group for the third time. You needn't be a writer (but may find you are one). You needn't be healed (yet you may find healing here). You needn't have any urgent issues that you need to put to paper (but they just might show up in this safe space). I'd recommend Lauren's groups to any and all comers. It's been an investment in myself and my sanity. -P
“Lauren was an incredible facilitator and a brilliant writer, whose leadership and creativity were the heartbeat of this group. Joining this small writers’ group has been a transformative experience. It provided a safe space where I felt empowered to create, to write, and to use my voice authentically. Our Zoom calls were more than just meetings—where we delved into the complexities of motherhood, family court, grief, loss, and the broader human experience. The insights and stories shared by the other women in the group transcended geography, teaching me so much about connection, resilience, empathy, and the power of collective storytelling. This group has been a source of inspiration and growth, and I am deeply grateful for the friendships we’ve built.”
Amplify, a small process group for protective parents, will be held again, timing TBD. Click below to learn more and be notified about the next group.
What people are saying…
“This group is SO very different from everything else I have tried because it encouraged me to listen to MY intuition above all else.
Participating in Amplify has given me tools that I now use in my every day life to increase my joy and self-love. I trust myself so much more and am so grateful that I was a part of the inaugural cohort of Amplify.
Joining Amplify will give you a community of like-minded women who hold space for you and will teach you that you can trust yourself. ”
“This group was different from other groups in terms of the sisterhood I felt, and the amount that I dug into my feelings in that moment. In the past, I’ve had a difficult time.
This is such an incredible companion to an high conflict divorce process. Through this and through therapy, I found my brain chemistry literally changing throughout and thinking about conflicts in such a new way.”
“Lauren is someone who brings people together in a way that’s not just physical, but she also very magically knows how to lead and navigate, and for things to flow. Even if she has to put a boundary, it’s done so gracefully and consciously.
This opportunity is life changing. It has left a mark in my heart and life that will remain forever. If you are given the opportunity - dive in. You deserve a safe place to be seen. You will come alive again. ”
