A Word from Susan’s Students

I love the safe circle of deep connection you create, Susan. All humans seem to crave this, but not enough actually get to soak in it like we do with you.

Pam Fischer, Santa Rosa, CA

Thank you again for your openness and warmth in welcoming me to the circle. I went away with the closing song in my head and heart, and I felt filled with loving kindness, to be sure. I look forward to coming to more gatherings and spending more time in our supportive and encouraging circle.

Nancy Unger, Sebastopol, CA

I can’t thank you enough for helping me through my tough times and celebrating the great ones. You have made an incredible impact on my life. I’m so grateful for the way you hold such a safe container for us to explore our lives. You have helped me — and so many others — heal with your wonderful gifts.

Eva Williams, Guerneville, CA

Thank you for your loving leadership and gentle touch. You build communities of such intimacy, caring, safety, and support. You fill us up with stories, reflection, and laughter. You have such a gift.

Eleanor Clement, Oakland, CA

I left our writing circle savoring the depth and flow of my own writing, and feeling heard and appreciated by others. Thank you, Susan, for the kinds of circles that you call. You, and they, have enriched my life.
