What OPEN PAGE participants are saying:
“Provocative, probing, tender, dear, empowering, inspiring, thoughtful.”
“Profound – exactly what I needed at this moment of my life. . . . The sessions pushed me to expand my thinking – to open my mind just a little bit.”
“Karen is a wonderful guide to discovering new ideas and words that had been lying dormant. She provides thoughtful, interesting, and insightful suggestions for beginning to develop these into language. I was surprised at the memories and associations that I found. It was a wonderful opportunity to ponder topics that I would probably not write about otherwise.”
“Terrific – accessible, great for all levels of writing skill.”
“Very beautifully done. Very calming, focusing, joyful.”
“For me, the Open Page guided writing sessions create windows to the spark of the divine that we all have, but don't always or easily discover. In being led gently and reverently through what is often murky spiritual territory, I'm able to let go of what I assume, to make room for immaculate thought.”
“This ‘writing option’ to a ‘spiritual practice’ is opening up the possibility of me having a spiritual practice.”
“WOW! Excellent. It helped me name what matters. I LOVE this . . . It made me feel better. It helped me think clearly.”
“It put me in touch with a voice of encouragement.”
"I love these sessions! They give me time and a reason to sit in quiet intention around a table of faith - like a ropes course for my soul, building trust with people I know only a little but just enough to safely uncover my truths."
“It enriched my experience of living and writing.”
“A great way to explore multiple dimensions of one’s life through writing. It opened doors of thoughts and feelings that have been beneath the surface.”
“A safe, holy space – even to explore a tough subject. Good to do the probing in community.”
