"The comfort level and mutual support in the class that Ellen facilitated allowed for collaborative sharing of each individual's work, and reworking to make the pieces shine with power and precision. Such pleasure and satisfaction was felt by all of us as we worked in this way.  Ellen nurtures manifest and latent talents and creativity in her students in a gentle and playful way. The seminar fueled a hunger to find greater depth of human experience and grace in my own writing, which I plan to do through ongoing consultations with Ellen."
