what people are saying

  • Kyunghee's grief poetry workshop was welcoming and the meditation in the beginning set the tone for our writing. I appreciate the opportunity to experience my grief through a letter and a list poem.
    -Fran, workshop participant

  • Kyunghee was brilliant. Kind, authentic, gentle, her writing prompts lead her workshop participants through several experiences, and opened those gates within us which enabled us to put words to loss. Kyunghee’s gentle energy and encouraging approach was exactly what our group needed at this particular point in the healing process. I strongly recommend her mindful talent and ability for anyone seeking healing through the written word.
