Course Reviews

COURSE:
OWN YOUR STORY: COMBINING FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS, MEMOIR WRITING AND MEDITATION PRACTICE
REVIEW BY:
DW, CAPE TOWN
" The course was well organised and skillfully facilitated in a way that was free from expectation or judgement allowing participants to arrive, participate and leave as their authentic selves.If the 3 practices are to be incorporated together, perhaps a clearer thread that connects them could be used."
COURSE:
OWN YOUR STORY: Combining Family Constellations, Memoir Writing and Meditation practice
REVIEW BY:
AH, CAPE TOWN
"I think the mix of writing, meditation and constellation work was an excellent choice. It offered a great blend of stimulation, action and reflection, intimate yet safe, both at personal and group levels. Facilitation was harmonious and excellent. My suggestion would be that, if and when possible, it would be better served by at least a two-day period"
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."
