A morning devoted to writing what's been waiting for a different kind of light.

In case you haven’t noticed it yet… another podcast won't be the thing to change you. And another book won't unlock the answer you’re waiting for. And insight? Helpful at times, but no. That ain’t it, babe.

What you're hungry for isn't more information.

It's an experience.

The kind that interrupts the machinery of everyday life. The endless scrolling. The overthinking your overthinking. The procrastination of your potential. The version of you that has become so practiced at holding everything together that you've almost forgotten what it’s like to feel alive in your own life.

Perhaps a single morning where time seems to soften, will do?

Where something inside you finally has enough quiet to rise to the surface like the early light of dawn.

Where you catch yourself from a different angle and think, “damn…okayyyy”

—the angle that has been there all along, simply waiting for enough light and for you to finally fucking notice it.

SOLARA is one of those mornings.

A room full of women who have agreed, just for a little while, to stop trying to become someone...

...and simply pay exquisite attention to who they already are.

Because something extraordinary happens when we do.

Ooh...Tell Me More! ⟶

Do any of these feel uncomfortably familiar?

  • You have seventeen half-finished notes in your phone that all begin with "This is probably nothing..." (and somehow none of them are “nothing”.)
  • You keep thinking, "I need to journal," only to stare at a blank page… and then reaching for your phone instead.
  • You've caught yourself saying, "Once things calm down..." so many times you're beginning to suspect life never actually does. (Hint: It doesn’t, my friend!)
  • You have ideas that visit you while you're driving, showering, or folding laundry... and by the time you sit down they're gone again.
  • You spend most of your energy responding—to emails, texts, children, clients, coworkers—and almost none listening for what wants to come from you.
  • You secretly miss the version of yourself who used to simply create things…that was before everything had to be “productive.”
  • You can't remember the last time you made something simply because it delighted you.
  • You have the strange feeling that something inside you has been trying to get your attention for months.
  • You long for spaces that value curiosity and raw authenticity over performance.

 

If you read these and feel personally attacked...

I made this space just for you.

Okay, I'm Coming! ⟶

No, you don't have to be a “writer”.

In fact, many people who come tell me they haven't written creatively in years.
Some fill journals every month. Others have a Notes app full of half-finished thoughts, fragments of poetry, and random musings they've never shown another person. Some arrive feeling already inspired. Others quietly wonder whether they belong at all.
By the end of the evening, those differences rarely matter. Because this circle isn't actually about becoming a better writer.

It's about becoming more deeply acquainted with your own inner life.

 

Why Writing?

Because writing has a way of bypassing the part of us that wants to get everything right.

I've watched people reconnect with forgotten memories, unexpected desires, surprising tenderness, flowing creativity, and astonishing clarity.

I wouldn’t say it’s because the prompts are magical.

But attention is.

Catch the Light

$27

You're curious. 

You want to hold something up to the sun and see what it looks like in the light.

You're in the right place. 

This tier is here for anyone who needs a little extra room in the budget. No explanations. No guilt. Just show up for your brilliance.

CATCH THE LIGHT

Full Sun

$37

Suggested Amount

You've got full "main character walking into the sunlight" energy.

No squinting from the sidelines. No watching everyone else glow. This is your morning.

This is the price that feels reciprocal, and the one that helps keep this work both sustainable and accessible.

STAND IN FULL SUN

Share the Glow

$47

You've received enough light to know it grows when it's shared.

You believe circles become more beautiful when more people can find their way into them. This tier helps someone say yes who otherwise might have had to say "maybe next time."

 

SHARE THE GLOW

Not sure which to choose?

$37 is my heart number for this gathering.
If that's accessible, I'd love for you to choose it. If it isn't, come in at $27 without a second thought. If you'd like to help make this work possible for someone else, $47 helps keep these circles generous and accessible.
No matter which tier you choose, you'll receive the same invitation: to see yourself in a different light. The circle will be its brightest when you arrive willing to be seen.
Choose the tier that honors where you are today.

A Note From Me

One of my favorite things about these circles is that I never know exactly what is going to happen. I know the prompts I'll bring as the times draws near. I know the space I'll help create.

Everything else belongs to the people that show up in the room.

Again and again, I'm reminded that there is so much wisdom already living within us. Sometimes all it needs is a little quiet, a single sentence, and the permission to follow where it leads.

I can’t wait to catch a glimpse of your brilliance. After all, it was you who was the golden hour all along. 🤍☀️

— Marrissa

In the spirit of the circle and the ways we hold this space together:  

This is not psychotherapy, and I am not acting as your therapist.
Writing can become rich and deeply meaningful because our inner worlds are rich and deeply meaningful, but our purpose here is not to analyze or process one another. There are no critiques in this space.
Our purpose is to create. That is, to notice, to wonder, and to make art of what emerges.
Everything shared within the circle is held in confidence, and each person is invited to participate at the level that feels right for them. Sharing is encouraged and is always optional.
