Course Reviews

COURSE:
Creative Writing
REVIEW BY:
Kaulana Williams, Cape Town
"It gave me a practical technique to get my body ready for writing by using the visualization exercises that Dawn taught us.I enjoyed the practical approach and liked the casual atmosphere which felt like a safe space with friends where we could ask and share anything, even though we were all strangers.It was comforting to know that if you’re struggling, you’re not alone."

Writing Retreat
REVIEW BY:
Charisse Louw, Cape Town
"I arrived in substantial physical pain and I’m leaving much relieved.I had several transformative realizations and felt safe enough to finally “go there” and give myself permission to feel my feelings.Heartfelt thanks, this was such a gift. I feel like I’ve come home to myself after a very long and arduous journey. Such relief healing and comfort.Thank you for holding the space so beautifully."
COURSE:
How We Respond To Art
REVIEW BY:
UCT SUMMER SCHOOL
The evaluations from your students indicate that many felt they benefitted greatly from your facilitation and encouragement to draw on their own inner resources to spark their writing, and that through this they gained knowledge about themselves and insights that were highly enriching to the writing process. They were given some methodology and tools and felt supported and enabled to be self-reliant in their work. Although this made others used to a more didactic approach insecure at first, they adapted to it and acknowledged its value.

I enjoyed all the writing exercises as they showed me I have the potential to be a writer but I LOVED the excerpt readings and the balance of energies between the facilitators the most.
