ABOUT
"This was an experience that made me feel at home. I found inspiration, ideas and discovery; a lovely sense of community, a place to see and be seen." ~ J
For the Love of She
A Guided Sapphic Writing Experience & Connection Circle
Sapphic themed and focused. All genders & identities welcome
This is a gathering for anyone moved by the love, care, and longing we hold for women and the feminine.
If you long to express that love, passion, desire in a way that is authentic, real, deep, and beautiful, this circle is for you.
You don’t need to be a writer.
You only need to be willing to feel.
What to Expect
- Three hours of space, created for connection and exploration
- Gentle guided prompts and facilitation from poet, songwriter and guide Aloha Jacqueline
- All sensory tools, prompts and materials provided
- A warm, intimate, pressure-free circle, with no obligation to share
- Room to explore what you feel, what you long for, and what you’ve kept quiet
- Short breaks between writing and sharing, and time afterwards to connect with the room
Guided prompts that help you drop in and find your own words, then opens outward, into the quiet magic of sharing those words and hearing others.
This is for you if you want to feel more connected to yourself, drop out of your head, and surprise yourself.

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)!
