One of the benefits of becoming a paid subscriber is access to the Writing the Self International Community of Practice! (ICOP).

Our community is a space where individuals from all over the world can connect, learn, and grow through the power of narrative and life writing. Whether you are seeking to advance your career, cope with loss or grief, prepare for retirement, or develop your leadership skills, our community is here to support and inspire you.

Writing the Self is a valuable method for personal and professional growth. By engaging in creative, expressive, and reflective forms of writing to make meaning of experiences and perspectives, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, connect with others, and chart a course for the future.

What being part of the community has to offer:

• Live virtual events featuring expert speakers and facilitators

Our community is designed to be inclusive, supportive, and collaborative. We welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels, and strive to create a space where everyone feels valued and supported.

By joining our community, you will gain access to a wealth of knowledge, resources, and support that will help you achieve your personal and professional goals through the power of narrative writing. There are opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals from all over the world, learn from experts in the field, and have conversations that support to help you develop your “warm inner compass” for navigating and enjoying life.
