courses and workshops
soul learning
Held in safe and soothing spaces online through Zoom, email, and by phone with therapist and writer Dionne St. Hill. Together we reflect, explore ideas, unpack your experiences and creatively capture them on page.
how it works
We have weekly get-togethers, giving you the opportunity to share your work, both one-to-one and in a group setting.
At the end of each course, you will be rewarded with a portfolio of work that celebrates you – your authenticity, your vulnerability, your courage… your dreams… and your ability to reflect, process and discover.
Each week, over our 6-week course together , I will provide reflective reading notes, poetry, literature extracts, music videos, programme clips, artwork, writing exercises and assignments designed to inspire and prompt your exploratory writing.
You will submit your writing to me once a week and I will provide feedback. There will be an optional get-together via zoom at the end of the 6 weeks to connect and celebrate with other writers who have completed the course.
