COURSE:
Lost/Found Memoir Course

“It was a great way to learn to use my emotions and describe them better. It was fun learning how to write from a place of hurt/loss without it being traumatic. I didn't realise how much I had to say or write about.”

“I have started writing again. The safe and holding space with only writing to do, was very beneficial to me. Clear prompts, examples of other writing, no pressure to read what I had written and the kind facilitation made me feel deeply relaxed and confident.I enjoyed hearing others writing and being given the space to read what I had written. J It was all amazing and clearly built on deep experience.Giles was brilliant! Deeply experienced, animated, kind, attentive and holding. Alice was also brilliant and shared her wisdom well and appropriately and linked it well to the topic. Thanks both. Deep bows of gratitude.”

"As I journeyed through the weeks, riding the train of learning, I got to experience the different ways of writing to express myself and my life. I experienced destinations of self-expression, scary yet exciting, unexpected tunnels which helped me get out of my comfort zone. The horizons helped me expand my writing skills and think outside the box, while encouraging me that there is not only one track to take. If I hit a brick wall, I can let it stop me or I can choose an alternative route.Dawn is absolutely awe inspiring. I really loved being a part of the course, interacting with different people and listening to their writing. The published readings Dawn selected were well thought out and presented. Absolutely amazing course. I was so nervous in the beginning and the thought of reading my work was terrifying. However, the feedback and support I received was so amazing I was brave enough to read more of my work. Thank you for such an amazing journey and experience. I am so sad it is over. My Sundays are going to fill so empty without my Memoir Course to look forward to and be a part of."
