Gift Yourself an Abundance
of Time
Over the past few years, time has been stretched and contracted in unfamiliar ways. As we look forward and create our future with intention, we can reflect on where we've been, what we've learned so far, and how these experiences weave together on our journey to fulfill our life's purpose. Enjoy accommodations and prepared meals at the lovely Transfiguration Spirituality Center where you'll have time for healing, renewing, writing, and dreaming.

Please visit our website for payment and cancellation policies, COVID-19 protocols and other details.

AmazonSmile -- Please Select Us Again

Many of you received a "Dear Customer" letter from Amazon that said, "As we shared recently, we are discontinuing the AmazonSmile program. The charity you had selected to support under the program hasn't registered after our attempts to contact them, so we are unable to send them funds." We actually are registered.

We're not sure what happened, but to get paid one last time, we need your help: you will need to select Women Writing for A Change Foundation again as your chosen charity. You can do that by logging in on smile.amazon.com. We appreciate your help! Thank you.
"I felt welcome, respected, heard, and a part of others' journeys. I feel
like my life is always enriched by these sessions. Thank you!"
~Feedback from a writer, Nov. 2022
Words Matter

What could happen if we altered our word choice? Inspired by poetry, articles, and interviews, we will write together and explore the subconscious power of language, and how it interacts with themes of self, others in our lives, race and equity, and justice.
