My favorite community experience on Skool at the moment!
CLUES is a special place because of its unique charismatic leader. Ruben ensures an utmost level of integration and organization of all the parts that go into a fleshed out, thriving community. When you decide to go with the current no-brainer offer that gets you the Premium package at a heavily reduced price, Ruben personally audits your community within days! The feedback provided is very very helpful. There are so many things for you to improve upon that only an outsider can notice. Except not just any outsider, but one who knows how to engineer the near-perfect Skool community culture in their own community. Inside CLUES, this dedication to excellence is on the daily agenda.

Curiosity Leaves CLUES
I have enjoyed the challenges and how my own curiosity has been re-sparked. A great community of adventurers supporting each other.

Curiosity is what drives us all - especially inside CLUES
Ruben is amazing guy, always curious and friendly, making everyone feel great. I’ve joined to learn what works and what not for making my own community engage better, and I’ve learned many lessons just seeing what Ruben does and how he interacts with everyone.

Such an Empowering Space!
I love being part of this community which values authenticity while also holding space for safely exploring. Frameworks encouraging personal exploration without judgement from ourselves (our worst critics) or others. Alli is funny, raw and so profound

The Village Becomes Your Home
What I love about Written Identity, or "the village" as it is lovingly referred to, is that the founder, Alli, genuinely cares about the people in this group. She isn't looking to grow the village just so she can profit; it's about connection, the writing journey, and being able to express your feelings, no matter how ugly they may feel in the moment. The village is also special because of the amount of support. There is no competition here; only love and cheerleading. Anyone looking to rebuild from a place of sadness, depression or complete devastation will find "Written Identity" a safe place to land and start over. Zero Burnout, zero nervous system overloads here. But having said that, you don't HAVE to be sad/mad/burned out to benefit from the village. Literally anyone who just wants to write but might need prompting or reminders or someone to say "your voice is valid" will also love Written Identity. You can come as you are, and we will love the entirety of you in the village :)

Find Community & Yourself
From the very first prompt to now, this community has been such a beneficial place for me to learn, express and grow. Alli has created a wonderful space and environment to share that feels like a real community despite being all virtual. Written Identity has helped me to step into my purpose and stand true in my identity. Alli’s 1:1 mentorship has also helped me tremendously in my pursuit of writing professionally. Her insight and knowledge has been an asset to my growth. If you’re looking for a sense of community and an introspective approach to writing and finding your voice, this is the place to be!
