“Well presented, the preparations, the timing and the gentle but firm control of Kerry, the course leader. Not necessarily overly done, but with sensitivity.”

“It was a revisiting into the short burst of a story and what things to be aware of, like the immersive imagery; the way the arc may form; internal dialogue of the character and points of view and all of this derived and influenced by the idea of 'free-writing'.”

“The service and hospitality of SCM is fabulous. Always the range of stories and people, their writing and sharing, their vulnerability and their growth - also the readings. All of this nourishes.”

“The course opened up my creativity. I'm an analytical thinker, and typically falls back on logic to speak about issues that impact and concern me. This course allowed me to make my reflections about my experience more personal, and reflect from that in a creative manner. It was so powerful that I have been able to draw inspiration for my writing from the world of dreams.I enjoyed being the youngest member of the group, and thus having the privilege of learning from such an array of experiences, insights, knowledge and wisdom that can only come with age.I was surprised that I was able to connect with my dreams in such a powerful way. Holding them with greater insight made me feel lighter. I was also surprised at how the group could hold me during a very difficult part of the retreat. For that I have a deep appreciation and profound respect.I love the venue. It inspired writing. I loved the healthy food, it felt like my body was being nourished to support my writing. The hike was also great to promote physical exercise. I appreciate the flexibility shown for people to opt out of group sessions as and when they needed to.”
