The writing prompts, wide-ranging assignments and sharings provided a frame for profound enquiry and discovery.\nWhat revealed itself? Forgiveness, compassion, listening, commitment and wild playfulness have blossomed in my heart together with others and solo at home or in nature. This was expressed in some poetry, drawings, movement and singing. On occasion, I could allow quietness to permeate my being to the point of my own disappearance into total oneness with nature, beyond words.\nOur Wild Soul Woman community is as strong as a mountain range and as silent and truthful as a sunbeam.\nGrief, uncertainty, rage, and shadows of doubt are welcome, too, providing the grit to create pearls of hope.\n\nI feel unstoppable gratitude to Mary for her generosity, the provocative, rich content and the encouragement she gives everyone with unswerving warmth, lightness, humour and goodwill. What a privilege to be guided by this unique wise woman. It has been a profoundly creative and beneficial time. Thank you to everyone who shared the course with me.\n\nWith love and appreciation, Katie Lloyd-Nunn, Stroud, UK August 2022[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=\"white\"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=\"yes\" content_placement=\"middle\"][vc_column width=\"3/4\" css=\".vc_custom_1649250498935{margin-top: 15px !important;}\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"The Tutor\" font_container=\"tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23000000\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal\" css=\".vc_custom_1662465807312{margin-top: 15px !important;}\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Mary Reynolds Thompson\" font_container=\"tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23000000\" google_fonts=\"font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1662469425245{margin-bottom: -1px !important;border-bottom-width: -1px !important;padding-bottom: -1px !important;}\"]Mary Reynolds Thompson is an international teacher, facilitator of poetry and journal therapy, and core faculty for the Therapeutic Writing Institute in Colorado.
