Carol and Camilla are an awesome duo. Both amazing writers, they are able to share what has made them successful in an easy, safe, and loving way. I took this class, not because I wanted to write a book, but because I wanted the spiritual practice of writing memoir and oh my goodness. Through Carol and Camilla's thoughtful and balanced insights, I was able to challenge myself to penetrate areas that had been left abandoned only to find these areas held a richness that literally awakened me to a love for self that I had not known. Being in a small group was wonderful - it provided a cheering section that encouraged me to dig deep and at the same time Carol and Camilla ensured that our circle of writers felt safe at all times. To say I highly recommend this class is an understatement. Deborah Cort
