WE TEACH LIFE RIGHTING THROUGH LIFE WRITING

The healing power of writing

The Life Righting Collective is a not for profit membership organisation. We run affordable in-person and online audio courses for anyone who wants to discover personal meaning, self-understanding and self-recovery in writing about their life experiences.

By providing a safe space to share our stories with others from all walks of life, the LRC promotes inclusiveness, cross-cultural learning and mutual understanding . We raise funds to make courses available to those in need of sponsorship and to provide platforms for these life stories to be published.

We’ve always got a good story to tell.
Keep yourself informed and inspired – sign up for our regular newsletter here.

Thank you

We are extremely grateful for the support of our funders: the Beatrice Jordaan Foundation, the Amani Harmonic Foundation and the Owls Barn Trust.

Course Reviews

" The course was well organised and skillfully facilitated in a way that was free from expectation or judgement allowing participants to arrive, participate and leave as their authentic selves. If the 3 practices are to be incorporated together, perhaps a clearer thread that connects them could be used."

DW, CAPE TOWN

"I think the mix of writing, meditation and constellation work was an excellent choice. It offered a great blend of stimulation, action and reflection, intimate yet safe, both at personal and group levels. Facilitation was harmonious and excellent. My suggestion would be that, if and when possible, it would be better served by at least a two-day period"

AH, CAPE TOWN

"I enjoyed interacting with other course participants and the Zoom platform made it possible to connect with people in different places. I enjoyed the prompts and also the guidance of the facilitators - Giles and Linda complement each other really well when it comes to different voices."

IVN, CAPE TOWN

"I loved hearing everyone else’s writing. It felt like a privilege."

JD, CAPE TOWN

“The course made me realise the potential I have as a writer. It has helped me process and honour the past and how it has morphed me into who I am today.”
