My first session was just what I needed after a bout of anxiety and depression. It was a tonic and well-led, lovely people and all women was really amazing too.”

The poems we read and the responses you achieve from the group help me to question who I am and whom I would like to aspire to be. Listening to the members in the group giving their varied interpretations and perspectives on the poems, often referring to their own life experiences, inspire my own writing. You have provided me with gems of wisdom which I am sure you will continue to do so, enabling me to keep questioning; remain curious and move forward – gaining in confidence, relying on my own intuition and believing in my own ability.”

Transitions – the layers of our lives workshop, July 2024
Sandie’s facilitation style, depth of knowledge and experience created a compassionate, safe and collaborative space in which to explore the ‘liminal space.’ A space that can be unsettling, as we transition from one chapter of our lives to the next.”

I am really enjoying them and like your approach to the subject…have been to similar workshops but they have never covered the whole ‘holistic’ spiritual sphere which I find fascinating.”

I greatly enjoyed the workshop, it had a wonderfully friendly atmosphere and I liked the wide range of activities which really got my writing muscles flowing.
