Course Reviews

COURSE:
Writing For Dating
REVIEW BY:

“I like how the course design and process was pitched to bring us to meet our authentic selves gently and kindly. There are strong parallels in the best possible way with a one week memoirs course that I did with Anne Schuster some 15 years ago or so.”“Meeting others who are also out on their edge, going deeper and exploring new ways of being in the world. I got courage from their courage.”

“The light and the dark seem to be at war in me. And that's what needs to get married in me. Uncomfortable but one step closer to acceptance. A very holding space. Thank you.”“The freedom of writing from the past, present and future all mixed up. Allowing the imagination to roam without time constraints.”

“I think that there is something for everyone whether you are wanting to date or not. That somehow through the engagement it helped clarify this for most”.

KEYSTONE MEMOIR COURSE

"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."
