Each week, I felt myself open and ease into processing different layers of what was moving through my body, mind, and spirit. Her facilitation is graceful and intuitive, filled with love, powerful insights, and ways of seeing deep into you that feel nurturing and give you permission to finally see yourself with the same bright eyes. The women she attracts are truly just as caring, talented, and genuine as Marn, which created a safe, nourishing, and enjoyable space amongst us even when we were exploring heavier material. There's so much I could say about this workshop and Marn but it's a sliver of the full embodiment of the gorgeous, uplifting, and unique journey that I experienced.”Marlene Malik, Toronto, ON“Something truly magical transpires through Marn's facilitation. She leads by example, responding thoughtfully to each contribution, holding space, and validating where we are in our healing journey. Her intuitive, attentive approach creates a nearly palpable sense of safety and connection in the room, transforming strangers into a circle of trust, support, and inspiration...Attending her workshops is easily one of the best things I've ever done for my well-being, for my love of writing, and for my sense of wonder and appreciation for women.”Amanda Hobbs, Vancouver, BC“If you are looking for a safe place to reveal yourself to yourself, in the gentle, accepting company of other women, through the medium of writing, expression, inspiration and meditation…this course is for you. If you long for a compassionate, present, non-judgemental ‘space-holding' witness… Marn is your facilitator. And, if you are called to be a part of a strong, nurturing, empowering, uplifting circle of women, helping other women…let your voice ring out, it will be heard and welcomed.”Joanna McKinnon"Participating in Marn's writing workshop has easily become the highlight of my week. ...She has created a truly nurturing environment to allow for writers at all levels to flourish...Marn provides a space where we can all write freely, share vulnerably and hold each other with such compassion. When we get together in her workshop, it is absolute and pure magic."Annie Phung, Vancouver, BC“I honestly can't recommend Writing as Healing high enough. Marn is genius in her guidance through self healing. Each piece is carefully chosen not only to augment the week’s theme, but to open our consciousness, strengthen our confidence, all the while supporting us to feel comforted, expansive and inspired to write and heal.”Marie Ingram, Vancouver, BCPhoto credit: Tyer Nix Unsplash
