A Word From Susan’s Students

I want to tell you how much I appreciate your writing workshops and just how wonderful the last one was. I loved sitting out under the trees, writing and listening to other women’s stories. The experience has re-awakened my creative energy.

Windflower Townley, Mendocino, CA

Thank you for a wonderful day yesterday. I think what I wrote in circle with you is probably the most important piece I have ever written. My writing has improved a great deal, and I can now express my thoughts and ideas in a more coherent way. Many thanks for knowing how to get our creative juices flowing.

Lois Talkovsky, The Sea Ranch, CA

Thank you very much for yesterday’s workshop. I enjoyed every moment; the laughter, the insights, the joy of creating, being in the flow. Thank you for creating the space that allowed our true selves to emerge.

Lise Maisano, San Francisco, CA

When we shared our writing aloud, we were all in awe of how open-hearted, moving, and beautiful every story was. It wasn’t that we didn’t know how to write; what we needed help with was opening our hearts. That’s what your gentle support allowed us to do.
