Why Wholeness Wednesday?

Wholeness Wednesday is a monthly 90-minute writing and reflection circle for women who are ready to make a small but meaningful commitment to themselves.

Many women—especially mothers—spend their days caring for others while putting their own needs last. This circle creates intentional space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with yourself through writing, conversation, and shared presence.

Held at 11:00 AM on the last Wednesday of each month, after school drop-off or morning errands, Wholeness Wednesday offers space to choose nourishment, self-connection, and authenticity once a month, together. It is an invitation to pause, breathe, and return to yourself by reconnecting with your voice and your story.

What to Expect

Each session includes:

  • Gentle grounding practices to help you arrive fully

  • Guided writing prompts (no writing experience needed)

  • Spacious time for sharing and reflection

  • Community connection & conversation

  • A custom workbook aligned with the month’s theme

Participants will also learn simple writing-based & somatic rituals they can return to between sessions to help support daily practices of self-care and self-trust. The space is intentionally paced to support both individual insight and community connection.

This is a healing-centered creative practice. It is not therapy or a clinical service.

Contact Dr. Liz

  • Wholeness Wednesday is a monthly, 90-minute writing and reflection circle for women. Each session offers guided writing, grounding practices, and space for conversation and community. The circle is grounded in Dr. Liz DeBetta’s Migrating Toward Wholeness™ framework and centers self-connection, agency, and authentic expression through creative practice.

  • No. This circle is for anyone who wants to explore their inner world through writing, regardless of experience. Prompts are gentle, accessible, and designed to support reflection, not performance or “good writing.” I like to say that Migrating Toward Wholeness is about what you write not how you write.

  • No. Sharing is always optional. You are welcome to participate in whatever way feels safe and supportive for you.

  • You may attend a single session or choose to commit to the full five-month series. The series option is ideal for those who want continuity and deeper engagement, but each session also stands on its own.

  • If you register for a single session and cannot attend, please contact us in advance to discuss options. If you are enrolled in the full series, you may continue with the remaining sessions; however, sessions are not recorded and cannot be made up.

  • Just yourself and a willingness to show up. All participants receive a custom workbook at each session. You are welcome to bring your favorite pen, journal, water/coffee/tea/snacks, or anything that helps you feel grounded.

  • This circle is for women who want intentional time for reflection, self-connection, and creative expression; especially those who spend much of their lives caring for others and are ready to make space for themselves.

Whether you join for one session or commit to the full series, this is time you are choosing for you— your voice, your story, your presence.
