Testimonials

“Thanks to Heidi for putting together this amazing course, Pathways To Poetry. I've been on a poetic journey for a really long time now but only used to write poetry to help myself through a cathartic process. And now I get to learn and explore different techniques from haikus to odes and I'm learning so much in this 12 week course. You get to hear from different poets, different examples, writing prompts and there's a salon that is so intrumental because you get to join with other poets, like minded individuals who want to share their work in a safe space. In a time when we need more humanities like poetry and literature and art, this is a perfect thing to dive into and really get a sense of who you are and explore and share your views with the world in a beautiful artistic way. Thank you so much Heidi and if anyone is thinking of joining, it is amazing and you will get something beautiful out of it. ”

““I love the personal contact. Heidi is constantly there to with an influx of emails to encourage you, to motivate you. Sometimes when learning something new we go through a process of transformation ourselves so we have to adapt from knowing what we knew to learning new things and that's pretty incredible, the adaptation process has led me to a point personally where I feel very confident with what I'm writing. I've learned so much.””

““Pathways to Poetry is very well structured and it helped me learn new ways of expressing myself, developing further my creative mind by learning more about different writing techniques, and staying connected with fellow writers work. It also helped me stay organized and focused, kept me accountable and gave me more self confidence about my writing. It made me realize how important poetry is to me, it feeds my soul and heals my heart.I can't live without it. I have been writing poetry, on and off, my whole life, the course helped me get back on track.””
