- to create a ‘sacred space’ for writing and sharing to take place
- to inspire each other
- to hone our creative/poetry writing skills
- to polish our spoken word offerings
- to provide a venue to share written words through spoken words both in the ‘real’ world and virtual communities through podcasts
- create a platform upon which monthly ChapBooks can be published
- to create a body of work from which an anthology can be published.
