WHY JOIN THE SPACIOUS HEART WRITING CIRCLE?
Like each offering, we gather to tend the inner sanctuary.
We attune to the deep inner knowing that unfolds through and around you.
We align to the greater Love that is always calling you towards yourself, your nature, and Life.
We connect with the unique essence seeded in and expressing through you, as in each of us.
In this circle, we create spaciousness for it all to be, to breathe, and to evolve.
With this particular circle space,
we are going to become even more...
daring in the questions
raw in our truths
real with our ink
honest in our being
deep in our inquiry
vast in our realizations
This mantra has been with me:
Live from a spacious heart.
Be the spaciousness.
It is a reminder not to forget what matters.
To me, a spacious heart can, again and again, find more room within to hold the whole of your experience.
To allow all of you and all of life. To not turn away or close down or limit yourself, but open towards and into your inner experience with curiosity and exploration.
To stay tender and open-hearted and receptive to life as it unfolds through you, and as you unfold through it.
The more open and spacious your heart, the more you will risk living into authenticity and truth.
Are you living life through a spacious heart?
THIS CIRCLE SPACE IS FOR YOU IF:
- You are open to brave questions and being an adventurer of the heart.
- You wish to feel freer from the contractive spaces in your heart and repetitive pain loops in your stories.
- You are willing to be receptive to listen when unexpected truth arises from within.
- You are ready to allow, accept, and embrace (not displace) the power you hold and to embody it.
- You are committed to openness of your being and expansion of your capacity for Love.
- You want to allow more vital energy to flow through your being and relax the pain of the protective self.
- You want to recognize and move fluidly with what truly resonates with you and let that guide you.
- You connect with journaling as a way to unearth inner knowing that lies under the surface.
(Even if you haven’t written like this before, this circle is safe, welcoming, and will get you writing.)
"Breathtaking honesty—the second of willingness to risk the seemingly impossible truth, to throw it all in the air if only for this moment, to render oneself naked to oneself anew and even if undone, to call forth the once inconceivable from within—is the rawest note of human beauty. The moment when the palm of the heart turns slowly upwards."
- Aimee Hansen
IN THIS CIRCLE SPACE, YOU WILL:
✓ Reserve a time and space for inner connection so that you may reorient from the center of your being.
✓ Experience the intimacy and alchemy of a women's writing and sharing circle.
✓ Explore live guided prompts that enlighten the heart and expand pathways of perception.
✓ Reveal insights to release fear-based patterns and step into energetic presence in the here and now.
✓Become aware of new guiding insights your experiences are revealing to you for your navigation.
✓ Cultivate greater clarity, inner alignment, and expanded vision and wider truths.
✓ Deepen your sense of trust, connection, and possibility.
"I always get so much from Aimee’s circles. She has a unique ability to craft writing prompts that invite introspection. And her introduction to each prompt helps create space for inquiry and exploration. I struggle to write and journal on my own but so much flows in her container. Hearing all the other women's shares feels so nourishing. So grateful Aimee is holding these spaces!"
- Lindsey Harriss
This circle will also invite you to...
- Experience that there is no "wrong way" to do the writing prompts.
- Welcome the muse through live writing, and soften the inner critic.
- Share your raw expression and gently witness others in theirs.
- Feel seen, heard, and held in a safe space with a group of women.
- Take a pause to nurture yourself with connection and catalytic creativity.
This is a space to arrive exactly as you are — and to reveal what’s ready to unfold.
"The writing circle helped me connect with my powerful life force and writing voice and hear what it revealed to me. Aimee is the real deal—a heartfelt, responsive, skilled, and dynamic leader to help guide you through this rich process. She has a special gift in connecting and sharing the power of writing as a vehicle to deep growth and owning our essence.”
- Helene Brenner, Ph.D.

Aimee Hansen is the Creator of Storyteller Within women's retreats and co-author of "This Book Is a Retreat: 101 Soul-Nourishing Questions to Reconnect with Yourself" (released in August 2025). She has designed and intuitively facilitated transformational journeys for over ten years, including 29 week-long retreat events and several online offerings.
She offers an energetic field, immersed in Love, where the writing is alive and immediate, and where women brave honest conversations with self and with each other. Her desire is for you to feel connected, open, seen, heard, expressive—and expansive. She is intuitive, playful, and far more committed to your truth than your fear.
In her spaces, writing is a channel to allow vulnerability, reveal insights, and enchant new possibilities. Her work has inspired women (by their own words) to move into new trajectories of self-allowing. In this space, we are probably going to laugh and cry. She invites you to see how quickly magic forms when women gather in the spirit of wit(h)ness.
