"It helped to motivate me to consider writing from another's perspective, which can be invaluable for developing empathy. I enjoyed the opportunity and the framing to write different stories. I felt very inspired to continue my writing outside of the workshop."

Memoir Course
REVIEW BY:
Hildegarde le Roux, Cape Town
"It allowed me to write freely without the mind and the Critic interfering.  I feel empowered and realise that I can write.  Sharing was good for me.  The group experience made me feel less alone. Dawn is an inspiration.  Her ideas are phenomenal, the extracts chosen were both thought provoking and  moving.  The creative exercises were very helpful in accessing our own particular memories."

"The writing of my story helped tremendously. It ordered my thoughts and feelings and gave scope for mourning and missing. While  highlighting how lovely it is to have cats around the house! "
