Lost/Found Memoir Course
REVIEW BY:

“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.”

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."

Lost/Found Memoir Course
REVIEW BY:
Charlotte Mande Ilunga, Cape Town
"The writing course at LRC has helped me deal with my painful past and to see the potential in me. It has encouraged me to read, write more and to be connected with other people.My published stories are an educative tool and it promotes the willingness to share our stories. By sharing we create an awareness, we connect and heal as a nation.Everything is a story and your story is my story, and when it is written it will be preserved for the generations to come."
