The workshop I did was a wonderful way to reconnect with my writing. The exercises we did, and conversations we had, sparked a lot of new ideas, and helped me to grapple with some of the more complex issues I’ve been having with my work. It was great to be in a space dedicated to creating.
RUBY IS AMAZING AND THIS WAS LIFE-AFFIRMING AND TRANSFORMATIVE. I AM SO GRATEFUL! sorry for all the caps but this is how excited and how jubilant I feel about what Ruby shared with us, taught us, inspired us with…Omg, just so good.
Helen is an awesome teacher, so generous with her time (and amazing crafting resources)! Fantastic group of creative people – it was an inspiring and fabulous day.
