After experiencing workshops with such past luminaries as Joseph Campbell and Gregory Bateson, I can honestly say that Catherine\u2019s workshop was the most enjoyable I&#8217;ve ever attended.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a very meaningful, generative, and authentic experience. The workshop not only re-ignited my creative spark, but it also put me on a path for inner growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you, Catherine, for the grounded, authentic guidance. It was what I needed to open my heart and propel forward towards a more fulfilling life. I felt embraced, understood, and heard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today was the fourth of Catherine&#8217;s workshops I have attended. Her information, stories, and writing exercises uncover untapped resources and new perspectives on the content and process of writing. This course also sparked renewed courage, energy, and determination to complete my memoir. Thank you, Catherine!&#8221; &#8211; Wendy<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was amazed at how much I learned about writing, about myself and how to present. The openness of Catherine and her easy style made me feel comfortable and willing to share and learn. The other participants in the class were also inspiring &#8211; each in their own personal way. Kudos and thank you!&#8221; &#8211; Ken<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m a amazed that over zoom such an intimate experience can be had. Loved this writing\/creative workshop with Catherine.&#8221; &#8211; Elizabeth<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a fantastic writing workshop &#8211; whether you&#8217;ve published books or you&#8217;re dipping your toe into writing, everyone has something to gain from Catherine&#8217;s tips, exercises, and prompts. I would absolutely take another course from Catherine. 30 people in the course was a great amount, allowing for discussion and light workshopping. Fantastic offering, VAWAA!&#8221; &#8211; Meg<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was my third memoir workshop with Catherine, and is was just as fantastic as expected &#8211; each time I get to chisel away at the big block of Unknown, and find my nuggets of enlightenment!&#8221; &#8211; Meryl<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Catherine Ann Jones is a brilliant writer and a generous teacher. The knowledge and compassion she shares with us, her students, is life-changing. If I could take her class every day I would. I feel nurtured, safe and valued in her presence.&#8221; &#8211; Alice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sat, July 13, 10-4pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>105 S.
