Testimonials from Former Workshop Participants
“Every session was amazing in its own way. It was run excellently, with such calm and caring proctoring.”
“I have enjoyed absolutely all of the sessions and all of the parts. The incredible thoughtful and gentle and encouraging comments by Serena, the quality of the resources, I will treasure forever.”
“Oral history as poetry was eye-opening even for an anthropologist. Serena’s recommendations when asked for more are invaluable. All absolutely key, brilliant topics.”
“I enjoyed all the sessions and liked having the booklet to take away and refer back to. I liked the mix of poetry and prose options. I wish I lived closer, so I could come more often!”
“It was a really supportive environment where it felt safe to share, it has been years since I’ve shared my writing, but you’ve made a great space!”
“I have enjoyed the way you have included everyone in these workshops and responded to all my ideas even if they were a bit unhinged. I enjoyed the sense of community too! I really liked all the prompts and pieces selected.”
“Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Serena took time to explain terms used in poetry. Felt comfortable as someone new to poetry – no pressure to share, etc.”
“Would love to attend more of these workshops if possible! Gutted that I could only attend two.”
“Only came to one session and thought it was brilliant. Really enjoyable experience (…) Thank you! :)”
“Good selection of themes, very insightful facilitator.”
