They had just finished writing in the Japanese poetic style known as haiku, and usually delve into three writing exercises over the weekly two hour sessions together as they focus on the concepts of reflection, resilience, inspiration and encouragement.

The Womoon Tide Feminist Writers collective meet each Monday morning and is open to anyone who identifies and lives as a woman. The group includes talented wordsmiths from diverse backgrounds who all bring to the table different life experiences.

"What amazes me is how different our perspectives are," writer Jane Thomson said.

Poet Sassi Meaghan Nuyum-Holt said many men are brought to tears by her striking words during public performances across the region.

"I think in our society when we take away titles and strip ourselves bare as human beings there's a connector," she said.

Nuyum-Holt said she carries the inspiration from the weekly writing sessions with her for the rest of her day.

"I appreciate the eclectic sense of the group. There's women of all different cultural backgrounds," she said.

"It encourages my voice through the art of the pen.

"The beauty of handwriting and the beat of a djembe are calling me in sounds of an ancestral voice."

The women, who range from home schooled teenagers to retirement age, travel from as far as Burragate, Beauty Point and Candelo, and are working towards publishing an anthology of works later this year.

Bega resident Cath Turville hosts the sessions, and said the time is about "taking back our power through the pen", and "changing the world one small group at a time".

"When I decided to come to the group I thought it was a great tool for empowering women," she said.

"It's about changing the world one small group at a time, and giving women a voice, especially in a regional area," she said.

Poet and percussionist Gabrielle Journey Jones said the workshops allow women to express themselves and share their voice and individuality.

"What happens at the table stays at the table," the Writers of the Far South Coast committee member said.

"We can be ourselves and take of our mother hat. This place is where my heart is, this is the headquarters."

The group have created a creative bond, and a safe place for sharing ideas and vulnerabilities.

"There's something about the way we're held here which is bigger than if we like each other," Fiona McLennan said.

"There's safety with these women. It feels incredibly safe for me and I can share deeply.

"For me as a writer, women coming together is sacred. It is a tool of the patriarchy to separate women."

The women discuss universal issues ranging from the environment to domestic and international violence against women, as well as reflecting on more local topics like the effects of the March 2018 bushfire.

"I don't think we're victims of the patriarchy, we're just aware of it," Ms Jones said.
