  • “The course made writing feel incredibly accessible, rather than some sort of gift that you either have or you don’t. The amount of theory was perfect to guide the process, without it feeling too technical or advanced for beginners”

  • “Being on this course, being infused by the enormous positive and gentle, yet powerful energy of Clare, Liza and all the other group members, and the beautiful material we’ve gone through, as well as the writing exercises on the environmental writing genre new to me, has really breathed life back into my spirit, and reminded me once more that writing is a powerful gift to help enact change in the world.”

  • “The writing tools felt really specific and tangible, and I found myself using them each week, and experimenting with them. As someone who has really just done stream of consciousness writing for the last 10 years (+) it felt so helpful to have structures to engage with.”

  • "I think the sense of community - of writers and readers and people who care has been the most amazing. Feeling that the world is burning can sometimes feel so hopeless and exhausting but to be in a community of people who want to do something about it - if even just to think and write about it - feels really comforting."

  • "What surprised me: the absolute essential work of it. The course has been a reminder that writing is action. Giving ourselves space to think a thought no one else has recommended we think is the kernel of change."
