I would never have even got back into writing if it hadn&#8217;t been for Denman and your retreat so thank you!<\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>PS Suffolk <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>The course tutor, Chrissie Hall, herself a published writer, was disarmingly brilliant at helping us strip away our fears, anxieties and confusion about what we wanted to do with our writing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>OM, Herts<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>Stage play &#8216;Number 17 &#8211; 100 years of a Borrowash house&#8217; &#8211;  a sublime effort and a truly wonderful result.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>HS Director.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unexaminedlives.org\">www.unexaminedlives.org<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>Your leadership and support were amazing and you knew how to get the best out of everyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>RH Derbyshire<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p> It&#8217;s been brilliant &#8211; loved it all.\n <\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>LO &#8211; Avon<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>Rarely have I enjoyed a course more than Chrissie Hall\u2019s Life Story Writing Workshop. It was fascinating to share other people\u2019s life experiences and to see the photographs and other mementos which we\u2019d been asked to bring along. The writing exercises which Chrissie set us were so enjoyable that every time I found myself longing to write more, almost frustrated when moving onto the next section of the workshop \u2013 but ultimately finding each part and its accompanying exercise equally as inspirational! I\u2019m sure the entire group would agree that Chrissie Hall\u2019s course was well-planned and enthusiastically delivered; original and entertaining. We discovered that it didn\u2019t matter that we weren\u2019t famous : that we all have tales to tell, and that we all have tales to write.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>CK &#8211; Derbyshire<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>I really appreciated the course and marvelled at your ability to make us all &#8216;gel &#8216; together so quickly. There were some quite personal feelings brought out into the open and I know I found it quite cathartic to talk about the family things,  Since I returned everyone has been saying I look more relaxed, so I&#8217;m sure the break did me good, and your course was not just educational but also just the therapy I needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>I.C. &#8211; Bournemouth<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>Typing my stories out has recaptured the magic all over again &#8211; the week  was an oasis in the midst of busy reality.

I hadn&#8217;t written for over 20 years and even then had only written for myself, only my parents had read my work. I worried all the way down on the train that I had no plot or story or character. You have taught me so much and have been a huge inspiration.  The story has come out of my pen, it may be predictable and cliched but it has come out of my pen, which is more than I had expected. This group has been amazing and I will keep this experience with me for ever. Thank you. <\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>J.H.  Staffordshire<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>How fantastic you are to share your knowledge and information from your experiences in writing. I am so very grateful, it will help me no end now, and in years to come. I will be back to enjoy the caring way you teach. You inspired me. I can do this. I will do this. Thank you so very much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>L.W. Peterborough<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonials\">\n<p>You encouraged me by noting elements in my writing which (apart from some factual accounts) normally remains unseen.  I admire the way you have built your life and are helping others, and will try to remember your teaching while I am labouring over writing for my descendants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lastpar\"><strong>B.C.
