You’re cordially invited to The Garden Party!
The Garden Party is a community space where we uplift and nurture each other in the most feminine way. We are rooted in joy, empowerment, and the beautiful dance of giving and receiving.
We utilize the private educational APP called Skool. Although the website can be utilized through a web browser the app is much more functional and fun. Members are rewarded for interacting with posts. The more you interact the more educational workshops will be unlocked. This is a place where I share all my workshops and lessons. We have workshops honoring Indigenous Wisdom to tapping into Feminine Power. Skool combines social networking and online learning to create a dynamic space for users. When you subscribe to The Garden Party, you are welcomed into our quaint, creative oasis where we share work, reflect, and build each other up.
Currently, we are keeping things classy with a $6 monthly cover charge. Get locked in at this price before prices go up at the end of Summer (June 21st, 2025) to $12/month.

We are looking to attract creatives, artists, writers, energy workers, the global majority, healers, and inspirational spreaders. This is a place to share your work, receive feedback, make connections, and lift each other up.
Joining this community means…
🌻Wellness Writing Modules
🌻Weekly writing prompts that promote reflection and connection
🌻 Opportunities to share your writing and art projects.
🌻Fun writing events
🌻 A chance to promote your projects
Each week, we explore a different topic, and I post reflective writing exercises, activities, or challenges to boost creativity. For example, last week we focused on The Wisdom of Play. On Monday, I posted a reflective prompt asking members to think about the last time they played. Then, on Wednesday, everyone was challenged to create a list of fun activities that feel like play for them and post pictures as evidence on the post. Over the weekend members are encouraged to share creative writing pieces or projects and receive feedback from other members.
The Garden Party is also a place of celebration. Last week, one of our members announced that she had finished her second book. She’s planned a book signing in a few weeks and shared with us her celebratory weekend at the beach with her good friend. Her post said:
“I just wanted to get on here and give Michelle a huge shoutout! She is teaching me so much about celebrating myself and my accomplishments. She really encouraged me after I finished my second book to go do something to celebrate it-which is something I never would have thought to do or done. It feels weird to celebrate myself, I used to think it felt selfish. But I’m learning that while I do so much for other people, I’m also a person I need to take care of, and damn did it feel good!
My best friend and I went to half moon bay and drank wine on the beach, had Relaxing massages and went out to a nice dinner. I came back feeling refreshed and inspired and have written 3 chapters on my new book since getting home yesterday! So thank you so much Michelle, for teaching me it’s ok to be proud of myself!”
This member also did a 1:1 book discovery call with me last summer where we brainstormed ideas for her (now finished!) book. She’s been an active member of the Writer’s Garden Party and I am so proud of the connections we have fostered over the years.
If you are looking for a safe space to reflect, express yourself, and make some life long friends come play with us!
I originally started The Garden Party because I was feeling uninspired by how capitalistic many social media sites have become. These spaces used to feel a lot more creative and grounded in community, but now I can't help but feel the mind numbing impacts of brainwashing techniques. Don't get me wrong, I am still active on Instagram (check me out @mybelle.poetry), but I also take a lot of breaks. Having my Skool community has felt like a breath of fresh air. I wanted to create a more uplifting space that is grounded in feminine empowerment, and I stumbled upon other people utilizing Skool for similar reasons. The only drawback is that it is a private site that requires payment. Sometimes we have to pay cover charges to get into nicer places, right? I try to keep the costs affordable, because I truly love what we are doing and want everyone to be included. If you enjoy learning, growing, and encouraging others in community you should definietely check us out.
Currently there is a 7-day free trial period, so check out The Garden Party and let me know what you think!
