“After my first session I was wondering if maybe I wasn't cut out for this. After the second session I was wondering if I could really write three times each week, if I had enough to write about. After the third session I started getting a glimpse of the layers that I had not yet started to explore.  Oof!  So, sign me up--I have a lot more work to do!!!”

“I love this writing process! I really enjoy listening to the poems. Having a line or two from each poem to use as a prompt really opens me up to write in ways I haven’t done in years! Jill is such a kind, compassionate leader. She creates a safe space in which to open up. I am quite taken with the power of this process and with Jill as my instructor.” - Donna, Pittsburgh, PA

“I really appreciated the experience of sharing in a group but without the pressure of giving each other the perfect feedback. We shared our stories and felt seen and supported by one another because of the beautiful structure and the compassionate guidance of the leader/facilitator.” - Meri Long, Pittsburgh, PA

“I’ve never known where to start to explore poetry, and this class has provided a much needed introduction. I’ve connected in some way to each poem you’ve chosen. Listening, then taking the next step of writing, has helped the poetry to resonate on an even deeper level. You create a safe space to share this journey with old and new friends alike. Thank you!” - Kira Stoltenberg, Portland, OR
