I’m looking for a few women academics/writers interested in writing in Auburndale-area cafes (Bruggers Bagels, etc). I'm a female academic (40s) who moved here recently and is missing the wonderful cross-disciplinary writing group that I left behind. The structure of the group was akin to parallel play, wherein we each worked on our own projects while sitting alongside each other. The group was helpful in providing a regular time and structure to support writing as well as creating some writing …

A writing group. An accountability group. A lamenting and rending of garments group. Every. Single. Week. We'd love for you to join us! This is a basic get-it-done group. The first half hour we introduce ourselves, discuss our work, and make goals for the week. Then we get right down to writing. Did you know that putting several writers to work in one space creates a kind of bubble of focus and productivity? It's pretty amazing. There is no ending point. People generally start wandering out arou …

Did you know that Impressionism came about because of a circle of connected artists?  Or that Virginia Woolf was only one member of the Bloomsbury group?  Throughout time, creative folks have come together to make things.  In the 17th-19th centuries in France these gatherings happened in Salons often run by powerful women.  After NYC, Somerville has the most artists per capita.  It's time all of us creatively-inclined got together to exchange ideas and support.  That's why we created the Somervi …

Creative writing is exciting. We are more likely to grow as writers, both in the enjoyment of our craft and in our productivity, when we are in community with other writers.

As a member of The Writers' Workshop, you can belong to a community of fellow writers who will encourage you in your craft.  Each writer should come to each week's writing session with a pen …

This is a group for all professional (or non-professional) freelance writers who work in the Boston area and want to be in a collaborative environment!

Ideally, we'd meet frequently during workday work-hours while we put our nose to the grindstones and ge …

One night, a collection of languages met a group of objects and they decided to share a cigarette over a drink. Complementing objects was easy enough for language, who found its partner so very real and touchable. Objects was mostly quiet, not finding much to say about itself, at least nothing equal to the photographs and poetry and sculpture language seemed so content and able to lavish upon it. When they made love, something was born, but soon enough it was on the lam. We are an artist collect …

Writers Anonymous is a social writers support group in Boston. It’s been such a rewarding experience. I originally got the idea for this group while I was living in Manhattan. While in NY I hung out with quite a few graduates from NYU, Northeastern, and Columbia who had started a similar writer’s support group, in which they (the original members) all pledged to write something ambitious/monumental and potentially life changing, their first novel. The good news is most did finish. The main pur …

PURPOSE: Share our spirituality and spiritual experience(s), discuss our paths and investigate the ideas and techniques of all (worthwhile) spiritualities and philosophies. Everyone has a spark of God/ the Source/ One etc (whatever finite word we want to call It) in them, to the extent they don’t loose or "sell" their soul.  If we listen to this Spark, it will lead us on our own unique, individual, wonderful and magical path back to the Source. The focus of this meetup is to share our paths, h …
