WEST PARIS — A Women’s Writing Circle is scheduled to begin Monday, April 10, at West Paris Public Library.

This free series will be held from 6:15-8 p.m. Mondays through May 22 at the 226 Main St. library.

This writing experience is designed to help writers overcome resistance, sidestep their inner critic, bring forth their voice, and get them writing. During the writing circle concepts such as writing practice, mindful writing, curiosity and the creative flow, priming the creative well, and bearing witness, will be explored.

A write-read-reflect format will be used, using prompts.

This will be a safe and welcoming space for beginning and seasoned writers alike. This is not a course so much as it is an invitation into discovery by doing, according to a news release from Brenda Lynn Gould, library director.

Stephanie Frykholm of West Paris is the facilitator. Her work in the world is about cultivating creativity, mindfulness, and spirituality in everyday life. She is a lifelong writer and has facilitated women’s circles for more than 30 years.

Meetings are on the following consecutive Mondays: April 10, 17, 24, and May 1, 8, 15 and 22.

To register, call 207-674-2004, email librarian@westparislibrary.org, or call/text Frykholm at 920-365-2508.
