Abstract
This article describes an approach used with therapeutic groups for women at midlife and beyond (aged 45 to 70 years). The method integrates feminist-relational and narrative concepts and its application was associated with significant movement between vulnerability and strength. Uses of writing and witnessing enabled participants to challenge themselves and others within a supportive context. A balance between inner work and mutuality, spontaneity and structure, contributed to the weaving of a relational tapestry in the group setting.
