Virtual Monthly Support Group

From time to time, 60 to 90-minute small group divorce coaching sessions are held via Zoom.

Split: The Difference | A Virtual Writing Workshop for Women

When we are married for decades to the same person, it’s often hard to recognize who we are as individuals or what comes next after divorce. The possibility and potential that exist are vast. Sometimes the pain that follows can be too, but not always. These seem to be universal truths whether we wanted the divorce or not.

Writer Joan Didion once said, “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.”

She’s on to something. And there is no better time to write to find out what we think than when a long-term marriage ends.

Join me for a 6-week virtual writing workshop to discover what you are thinking in the context of your divorce. I will use my expertise as a CDC certified divorce coach, plus my background as a family law attorney, mediator, and MFA in creative writing, to structure the workshop. Through weekly thematic prompts and inspiration (sent via email), you will be guided towards producing micro-essays/memoirs of 300-500 words in your own time. Your work can then be shared with the writing group at the optional weekly 90-minute Zoom meetings.

Zoom meetings will be held on Wednesdays from 7-8:30PM EST as follows: 4/1, 4/8, 4/15, 4/22, 4/29 and 5/6. Writing prompts will be sent a week in advance of each meeting. Following the last workshop meeting, each participant can submit one piece (up to 500 words) to Kristen for additional feedback if they wish to pursue possible publication of their work later on. The workshop is only open to individuals who identify as women, nonbinary, or transgender. This workshop is geared toward any level of writer, including first-timers! The cost for the workshop is $180.00. Group size is limited to 10 participants.
