Do you feel you lack the confidence, credentials or the expertise in writing to lead a writing circle?
You are not the only one who struggles with insecurities and self-doubt.
Often what holds us back is a lack of confidence in ourselves to take on leadership positions, and in areas where we might not feel fully qualified. I understand! Before I began facilitating women’s writing circles, I had been drawn to several different kinds of groups with other leaders and facilitators, and began to imagine I could fulfill that role, too. I knew I had other skills, and even though I’d been a teacher in other fields, I didn’t know how I would facilitate a circle of women who were my peers. That intimidated me! I had all the fears, self-doubts, and false beliefs that I was “not enough.”
My breakthrough came when I began a daily spiritual writing practice, and discovered a wise and gentle inner voice that became my guide. I heard a clear calling and saw an inspiring vision to create and facilitate women’s circles. Suddenly, I couldn’t wait to share this experience with other women.
I knew I had found a magical formula!
Over the past 25 years I’ve facilitated writing circles to guide and support women to:
✨ Tap into an infinite source of inspiration and intuition
✨ Find their authentic voices and connect with their true selves through writing
✨ Discover their creative gifts and fulfill their own dreams and visions
And now I want to give you the “Divine Ink” formula so you too can support women to find their authentic voices and share their gifts and wisdom with others, while creating an additional income stream for your business.

Testimonials
"Taking Janet’s “Writing Circle Facilitator’s Training” was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. After participating in Janet’s circle for many years prior and receiving its healing benefits, I was called to become a facilitator myself to expand the network of women’s writing circles. Having just gone through a major life change in my late 40’s, it was time for me to take the leap on my own, but I lacked the confidence I needed to lead one myself. Janet provided the template and the encouragement for me to forge my own path. I came out of the training knowing the tools and also finding my own unique style, which felt authentic.
I was able to begin my offerings immediately following the training with focus and intention. Janet sets you up for success. My writing circles have been a seasonal staple in my offerings year after year. I have led in-person and Zoom circles that have transformed many women’s lives which in exchange has transformed mine. My small flower farm in Ojai was birthed in Janet’s circle. “From Seed to Celebration” became my credo, and from that dream, a whole bounty of women’s gatherings grew.
I can’t recommend working with Janet enough; she is a champion of the soul and an inspiration for all women.”
- Eileen Cavanaugh
"As a longtime member of Janet Lucy’s writing circles, I knew the power of women writing together and sharing their stories. When Janet offered a “Writing Circle facilitator’s Training” to share her methods with others I was excited to participate. From her classes I learned to create the safe space for writing circles where women are free to share their deepest selves.
I have used the facilitators training to lead food writing workshops for cookbook writers and bloggers, and to co-lead a women’s writing and painting retreat in Spain, using poetry prompts to facilitate journaling. Janet’s guidance in facilitation is clear and simple, always respectful of each woman’s personal journey."

Testimonials
“Participating in both Janet’s weekly writing circles and the “Writing Circle Facilitator’s Training” have been a boon to my experience of living this curious, often challenging, beautiful life.
Janet’s “Writing Circle Facilitator’s Training” has given me the gift of a refined yet flexible format to develop the structure of a safe container which allows individuals to dive deep into themselves and uncover strength, beauty, creativity and healing, while often revealing aspects of their voice they have yet had witnessed or previously even known that they possessed.
Janet masterfully guided our group in a way that fostered camaraderie and community over competition and helped us weave a container to support us in midwifing one another through our unique blocks and obstacles. I left the training with a fully formed blueprint for a six-week writing circle as well as the tools to create other circles, workshops or retreats. I also gained a group of allies to support me with any bumps, blocks or potholes met along the way, I’ve facilitated seasonally, celestially, poetically inspired writing circles that support resiliency and connection through various stages and phases of life in the private sector as well as volunteering at our local community college’s wellness center. I am continually surprised by the deep felt honor and delight that being able to bring this experience to others brings me.”

Hi, I’m Janet Lucy,
Award-Winning Author and the Founder of Women’s Creative Network in Santa Barbara, California.
When I first started offering women’s spiritual self-discovery groups, I didn’t call them writing circles, though I used writing as our “power tool” to facilitate a deep, intuitive process, during which women’s authentic voices and inner knowing came through.
When I started calling the groups, “writing circles,” countless women came forward and affirmed, “I want to be in a writing group with other women.” From there I conjured the “Divine Ink formula,” to honor women’s voices by providing safe and sacred circles, based in trust, respect, and acceptance. These are not writing critique groups; rather a place where women write together, read out loud, and witness each other’s words and voices.
With this formula I became 100% confident in the process and even more inspired to share and teach it to other women.
For over 25 years, I have been facilitating women’s weekly writing circles, creative and inspiring workshops and retreats, in-person, via Zoom, and internationally, traveling to new places, and those I already know and love based on the “Divine Ink” writing circle formula.
With “Divine Ink” you can travel anywhere (and through cyberspace!), with one clear and simple formula.
“Divine Ink” has been the primary source of my income for 25 years.
With “Divine Ink” I facilitate women's weekly writing circles, workshops, local and international women's writing retreats. I also guide and teach “Divine Ink ~ Illuminating the Heroine’s Journey,” and offer intuitive and creative consulting for spiritual and professional development. I love to share my divine inspiration with other women. The “Divine Ink ~ Writing Circle Facilitator’s Training” is my most powerful offering.
Would you like to join a rising community of women facilitating circles?
I can’t wait to share my blueprint for creating and facilitating powerful and profitable women’s circles with you.
