Testimonials from Past Participants

 

“Last year I finally felt brave enough to join one of Suzy’s poetry series – I chose to attend the “Birds” series. Through the sessions, and Suzy’s encouragement, I began to trust the sound of my own voice – even when I was shaking with uncertainty. When I write, I feel five decades of doubt trying to silence me, but I push forward anyway.

The experience of sharing my writing with our group gave me the courage to subsequently write an online travel diary that I shared with more and more people. I am learning that the qualities I was taught to view as flaws – my directness, my enthusiasm, my authenticity  – are actually the strengths that make my voice unique. “

- Julz (Australia)

"The 4-week journey exceeded all my expectations. I came seeking my voice and found not just that, but a whole new way of being with myself. The practices we learned have become daily touchstones, helping me navigate both personal and professional decisions with more clarity and confidence."

-Alexandra (New Zealand)

"The intimate group setting created such a safe container for exploration. Each week, I felt myself peeling back layers I didn't even know were there. The combination of poetry and therapeutic practices opened up entirely new ways of understanding myself."

-Michelle (New Plymouth)
