COURSE:
Sunny Cove Manor Writing Retreat
REVIEW BY:

“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.”

“The excellent compassionate facilitation. Meeting all the participants, their openness and sharing. I did not expect the amount of support and holding space to process, which I appreciated. I thought it would be more about the writing techniques.I would have preferred the 2nd day to be more about "found", as we went quite deep into the lost aspect on the first day. But saying that, I found that people's stories naturally went there as I think one's psyche gets drawn there in any case as it does want to try to find meaning and some resolution from the loss.I loved it and benefitted so much from it. I am not a writer and lack confidence in writing and this really helped me, especially the free writing. Thank you so much once again!”

“Finding novel insights about my life that I was previously unaware of. I enjoyed all of it. The free-writing prompts were all wonderful. I was quite surprised at how much emotion came up for me during the course. The course had a powerful effect on me emotionally. The facilitation was fantastic. The space felt very safe to share my vulnerabilities.”

“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.”

“Very well structured and held and nice bunch of people. The ordinariness, naturalness.”
