About Us
Society for Reflective Writing Facilitators is a community for reflective and therapeutic writing professionals.
Â
It was founded in 2024 with the aim to develop a community that believes in the power of using writing therapeutically. The Slack group has dedicated discussion channels for networking, advice, resources as well as scheduled writing time and events. Membership is free for all.
Â
SRWF was founded by Olga Alexandru and Rachel Faturoti who volunteer their time to run and develop the society, driven by a shared passion to provide a safe and inclusive space for writing practitioners to network and share ideas.
