ABOUT
For the Love of She
THE SPICY EDITION
A Guided Sapphic Writing Experience & Connection Circle
You don't need to be a writer. You only need to be willing to feel.
Through gentle prompts and experiences, you'll be invited to notice what's alive in you and find your own words.
Nothing you write has to be shared. Everything is an invitation.
THE SPRING SESSION THEMES
Three Sundays. Three themes.
Choose one, or choose them all.
13 September · HOW TO LOVE A WOMAN
Intimacy, tenderness, desire and the beautiful complexity of loving women.
4 October · THE SPICY EDITION
Desire, attraction, eros, sensuality, fantasy, pleasure, chemistry and the things that make us feel alive.
8 November · UNREQUITED LOVE
The crushes, the almosts, the people we couldn't have, and the love that wasn't returned.
Each Sunday is its own complete experience. Come to the theme that calls you, or join us for the whole Spring series.
WHO'S WELCOME
For anyone who identifies with sapphic experience, attraction or community. Trans and nonbinary sapphic people are warmly welcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT
For the Love of She is an intimate, facilitated writing and connection circle with a maximum of 12 people.
We'll spend three hours together exploring the afternoon's theme through guided experiences, writing, reflection and connection.
There is nothing to perform and nothing to get right. This is not a writing class, and your words will never be judged.
WHAT TO BRING
• A journal or notebook and pen
• A hydrating drink, such as water or a flask of tea
• Your favourite snacks for the break
• Yourself and your curiosity
TICKETS
Only 12 places are available.
Tickets are offered on a sliding scale.
Choose the price that best reflects your current means and your capacity to support the facilitator, venue and gathering.
10% of proceeds support Rainbow House fundraising.
TESTIMONIALS

Being in a specifically sapphic space was lovely (first time for me) and I found that it elicited a different kind of creativity from me. Aloha’s facilitation is thoughtful and inviting and created a supportive space for exploration.” — Anonymous

Navigation: Please don't put "Rainbow House" into your GPS, it sends people to the wrong place.
Instead:
- Navigate to Observatory Railway Station (Disa Road)
- Park in the lot at the far end (it's the last house on the left)
- Walk up the path between the house and the bridge, and bang on the first door on the left (you can't miss the colours)!
