You can write. We're here to help. Do you have voices inside your head that won't leave you alone until you get their story down on paper? Good news – you're a writer.

We will even have the occasional critique. Novels, short stories, screenplays, poems – in all genres are welcome. We're here to help you write the bes …

Hi, and Welcome. My name is Fran, and I'm a singer-songwriter who writes from the soul.   I've been singing "soul-songs" since I was a little kid, and I've always been aware my songs reveal my hopes, fears and dreams in deep, truthful and often mysterious ways. Stories and myths have always figured heavily in my life.  I studied English literature in University and I taught Bible and Jewish folklore to elementary school kids for well over a decade.  I have also worked as a professional storytel …

It's the diversity of interests in the former FlashInTO that have lead us …

This group is a book club with a twist. It is a book club for writers. Why are some books popular? What makes them bestsellers? What can we as writers learn from these books? I started this book club because traditional book clubs are too vanilla for me. If you are a committed writer, then this meetup is for you. We meet once a month in downtown Toronto. Other events are scheduled as we think of them. Each month, we will chose a work of fiction and examine it from the perspective of a writer (an …

Whether art is your life, or you just need more art in your life, we all need challenges, practices and personal revelations to keep the creative juices fresh and flowing. It’s time to clean out the old creative cobwebs and take a new approach. Creativity can be as nourishing, enriching and enlivening and yoga, but many times, like yoga, our creative practice can be stale, stagnant or downright lazy. Why not take a new approach to how we go about supporting our creative practice? In honor of tra …

The gift economy represents a shift from consumption to contribution, transaction to trust, scarcity to abundance and isolation to community. - Charles Eisenstein Gift Circle's are an ancient practice that’s weaving its way into our modern world – and it’s about creating an alternative economy based on sharing. The distinctive feature of a gift economy is that people give of their possessions and services with no expectation of return. I got the idea to start my own Gift Circle after reading …

Many of us aspire to be creative in one form or another but we carry within us hindrances to either doing our work or releasing it out into the world. At times we may believe we're not good enough, that our work lacks meaning, isn't perfected, or we don't have enough talent and imagination to acheive what we desire. It may be that we fear criticism, failure and rejection, or perhaps resistant to change and success. Ultimately, the thoughts we think and the beliefs we hold, are what's holding us …
