"Halfway through the intro session, I knew this was the group for me. Marn held space and facilitated in a purposeful, encouraging and deeply compassionate way. My writing grew in its authenticity as I gained confidence every week, showing up to the love and validation of my fellow women creatives. I felt a bond forming with the group that encouraged more courageous and expressive writing, and I felt many blocks lift and my muse began to flow.
"The timing was perfect for me to find Marn’s workshop and I am extremely grateful that I did. The experience has put my book-writing project back to number one on my priority list after a five-year hiatus and provided the solidarity and confidence I needed to show up for my soul’s call to action – to write!"

"Before taking Marn’s workshops, I had never read my work out loud and was uncomfortable with the idea of sharing anything I had written, as it was never “good enough”. I come from an academic background and had never thought to give time and attention to creative writing in the same way I would to other forms of communication.
"Taking Marn’s workshop series, specifically the Muse Lab, has helped me beyond words. I’ve stepped into my tone and voice as a writer, explored different types of storytelling and feel comfortable with the long and complex stages of creating a literary work.
"I’ve learned to let go of my perfectionism, lean into my creativity and trust that I’ll be able to edit and build upon what I initially create. Beyond my improvements as a writer from these courses, I’ve grown as a person and find the weekly meetings a grounding force for my personal growth. The connections I’ve found with the other women in these circles have done wonders for my self-esteem and trust in myself as a writer. If you’re looking to start writing or are ready to develop your writing practice, I can’t recommend Marn’s workshops enough — they have truly changed my life."

I had not written as a means of creative expression for over a decade but after losing a close family member unexpectedly, I found myself bottling up with pressure at the need to release words onto paper.
"I was initially hesitant to sign up for any type of course (mainly due to cost) and was not sure about the zoom format and sharing aspect. But I decided to sign up as a one-off expense to try and "kick-start" myself back into writing.
"Marn's series helped me to reconnect with my creative self and through her workshops and prompts I was able to process my emotions in a way I don't believe would have been otherwise possible.
"Over the course of her six-week workshop series, I not only started writing as a means of release/healing/expression, but also began creating content outside of her workshops and actually submitted to a national competition. I have since shared my creations with friends and family and this has also helped them understand what I am going through.
"I have recommended her workshops and will be signing up again. In terms of cost, this is one of the best things I have spent my money on in years, as it not only helped to "kick-start" my writing, but has also introduced me to some incredible women (i.e. other participants), exposed me to beautiful poets and writers, and unleashed a part of me that I can continue to nurture as a means of healing."
