Winter Hag Woman’s Welcome to 2023

Winter Hag Woman’s Welcome to 2023

Like most folks I know, we can hardly believe that 2022 is behind us. What happened? It went so fast! Instead of looking back over the past year as I usually do, I have become absorbed with the year’s four seasonal cycles themselves and how they weave us seamlessly into the year’s events, taking us from birth, growth, to death and back again.

Women Raise Their Voices

Women Raise Their Voices

History is replete with myths and historical events detailing both the honoring and persecution of women and girls. There is a collective women’s wisdom that has been fought for and won by women who’ve taken a stand, using their bodies as well as their pens to raise their voices against injustices. As a result of their bravery and sacrifices, we women of today enjoy many rights that our mothers & grandmothers didn’t have.  As writers, we choose to carry on this tradition of speaking out and RAISING OUR VOICES.

CHARTRES CATHEDRAL: Where Spirit & Matter Converge

Aloha & Welcome to My Blog Poet Mary Oliver said “Do what brings you joy and then write about it.” Often writing about joyful or blissful times are as difficult as writing about those times where we suffered some misjustice or harm. When describing joyful events,...

Sometimes we just need another person to hold the space for us while we change. We might really just need to “move the needle” a little in our self-image, in how we think of ourselves. Having someone else co-visualize that change with us can make all the difference. That’s what Marjorie does. She holds the space for those of us who want to write, who want to write well, who want to finally claim “writer” as a title. Having been in a writing group she led and also attending several writing retreats, I can say that it was Marjorie’s teaching and encouragement that made the difference for me.
Thank you Marjorie.

My experience in Marjorie’s Memoir Class continues to be a gradual un-layering of my past, which is 87 years old, revealing a life that I had somehow discounted as not important.  Now I am realizing that I am a font of great tales that only I have access to and that perhaps my stories will be as interesting to others as they are to me!
Thanks, Marjorie.

Working with Marjorie St. Clair has been an eye opening experience!  During our coaching sessions, Marjorie has shown me that I can achieve writing goals that were once only a lifelong dream.  Her knowledge of good writing, astute assessment of my talents and abilities has given me solid ground to begin in earnest.  Marjorie is fearless in challenging her students to stretch to become better writers.

I’m now in the second part of my memoir-writing journey and I know I’m supposed to be here. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. I start writing about one thing and other, often painful things, arise. This class of beautiful women is a lovely, safe place to explore the ways in which to just get it done. Marjorie’s sweet spirit guides us through each class and I feel it when I’m writing on my own. I’m learning so much about myself.
Thanks Marjorie!
