COURSE:
Sunny Cove Manor Writing Retreat
REVIEW BY:
ZB
“The retreat provided a safe and encouraging space away from home and most distractions to focus on writing and feedback only!I like the structure, the co-constructed process, some of the prompts, all of the sharing, yet also the freedom to not join in and just write, walk, sleep or weep, and look after oneselfThe food was excellent, the staff and service exceptional, the place is gorgeous and the facilitator/s are gems. I will be back, and will spread the word even more zealously! Thank you so very much!!!”

“Thoughtful and knowledgeable facilitation made reading out loud in the group much easier. Collective feedback. I liked being inspired by other people's writing and the time to focus on the writing.I benefited from the synchronised writing. Being nourished in so many ways. The location. Getting a lot done.Highly recommended course. It feeds, body, mind and soul, resulting in better writing than you expected.”

“I loved the course. I must say I desperately needed a break and the course provided it all: pampering, inspiration, creativity, rest and community. I got useful feedback that allowed me to improve my writing so it became more alive. I also learnt about life from the other participants' life stories.I enjoyed the sense of community and was VERY inspired by the others' writing. I so enjoyed 'being held' by Dawn and the others. I felt very safe because of the space that Dawn created.I was surprised by how much I learnt in those couple of days. And how quickly I felt close to the others. I think this was due to the impeccable integrity of the emotional space. I would like to do this course again, maybe next year.”

“I was able to access memories effortlessly. It feels possible now to continue, and to write my life story. I loved the intimacy with the group, the trust that grows with each reading, with each listening. The shared humanity.I was surprised by the openness and liberal views of the group. I was surprised by the fascinating lives people have lived and how beautifully people write. I was surprised my own writing was received so warmly.I am so very grateful for the privilege of spending this time with Dawn. It was wonderful to meet Giles and the other retreatants.”
