📖  overview

this circle is focused on the power of writing with others. through regular meetings, we’ll create space to exchange ideas, develop individual or collaborative pieces, and support each other’s creative processes.

the goal of this circle is to be both a support group for overcoming the blank page and a playground for brainstorming—where even the most random ideas and can be transformed into something great.

each session will include time for free-writing, idea-sharing, and gentle check-ins on progress. whether you're working on a poem, an essay, or just playing with language, you’re welcome here—and maybe, together, we’ll create something like a zine along the way.

week 7 - prom night - meet people graduating from all circles and share your experiences! will take place on end of july

where will we meet?

i would like to decide on the first session after checking everybody’s availabilities and try to find a place that would be accessible for all members—all suggestions are more than welcome.

when will we meet?

on a weekday evening or a weekend afternoon – exact dates and times will be decided based on participants’ availability

why join?

this is for anyone who’s ever stared at a blank page too long. you don’t need to be “a writer”—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to start. this circle’s objective is to revive, or create a place to feel the joy of writing. at the same time, we aim to create a warm and friendly space to share the ideas and stories we have in every single one of us.

what will it cost?

any costs related to the circle will be shared by participants.

the estimated cost per person is 3000~4000 yen in total throughout the circle. this will go towards rental spaces. hopefully, it will be less than this but that will be dependent on the spaces that we’re able to find.

kizuna collective will ask for optional donations at the end of the circle, to help cover additional costs and enable the circles project to continue.
