​"When we go from one year to another without pausing to take in its yield, we forget that we stand on the shoulders of all the 'me’s' we have grown through to become who we are in this moment, and on the shoulders of all who have helped us along the way.
We ignore that life teaches us about who we are if we listen. If we don’t stop to acknowledge what this little leg of the journey has brought us, then we deny ourselves the awareness and appreciation of learning what we’re capable of—of being, doing, feeling, learning, changing or accepting.
Don’t tell me what fell off your list, what you regret or what dreams you’ve yet to realize. Tell me what you put your heart and attention to and what you found was within you and around you, already."
- Aimee Hansen
This writing circle will invite you to:
- Be with the raw embodied truth and feelings of your moment.
- Honor the value to be gathered from your lived experiences this year.
- Find grace and gratitude in pockets where you may not expect it.
- Reveal the wealth of self-awareness you've gained when you pause to notice.
- Unearth new perceptions and narratives to expand your possibilities.
- Reframe you towards what IS/has been instead of what is not/has not.
- Encounter beauty within the blur and chaos of a year well-lived. (I promise).
- Go into 2025 with more freshness for your heart and your journey.
​
This space will also encourage you to:
- Know and experience that you cannot do it wrong.

Let's ground the retreat spirit in the online space...
Across many circles, live and online, Aimee Hansen has cultivated a gathering space for women for nearly a decade - to share their experiences, expand their perspectives, reconnect with their inner voices, face their fears, hone their intuition, voice their raw words and move more boldly into their essential energy and own sacred expression - while holding witness and space for each other to do the same. In this circle, writing is a channel to allow vulnerability, reveal insight and enchant new possibilities. This transformational gathering has inspired many women, by their own words, to allow and embrace more of who they are and to move into a trajectory of greater self-honoring.
​
The live and dynamic retreat drop-in circle is designed to hold the nurturing dynamic of the women's circle. We will get to know more than each other's names and faces. Each participant will be seen and heard and have the open invitation to share in each session. It remains optional, prompt by prompt! We are probably going to laugh and cry. I invite you to see how quickly magic forms when women gather in the spirit of witness.

about the facilitator:
​
Aimee Hansen is the Creator of Storyteller Within women's retreats, recommended by Lonely Planet and included several years in a row among 'Incredible Writing Retreats to Attend' by The Write Life.
Aimee ventured into this soul work when she was compelled to offer women's circle retreats in early 2015. The retreats offer an embodied experience with women where the writing is alive and immediate and woven into a bigger picture by the group, and where women together brave the conversations with self we often yearn (but avoid) to have.
To date, she has facilitated 28 live events across a decade, dozens of online circles, and holds over 1000+ hours of intuitive facilitation in reconnecting women with their own voices and reclaiming their expression. ​Aimee views her role in the circle as communal, reflective and catalytic.
Her desire is for you to feel connected, open, seen, heard, expressive and expansive. Her intention is to inspire you into allowing more of yourself and sharing more of who you are, in all the ways you do. Her self-guided retreat journal, a co-creation with bestselling author Marianne Richmond, will be released by Sourcebooks in August 2025. She is also editing a novel and her children's book is immersed in the illustration journey.
