It's clear Trivarna puts her heart and soul into this community. She offers encouragement and validation to every participant, whether they are reading a poem out loud, sharing their draft work, or offering their insights and reactions to the example poems.

Excellent. Trivarna creates such a safe, nurturing space to grow and learn and develop. I felt very supported by her and the group both. It felt like a place to rest and from that place of rest to be able to explore - and that is the very definition of feeling absolutely safe. Additionally, she is extremely knowledgeable, so she has very much to share by way of resources, readings, prompts, feedback, etc. Her gentle spirit is a gift.
- Hilary Bilbury, Poet & Visual Artist

I would highly recommend this workshop. Trivarna creates a warm open environment in which to share thoughts and ideas, but also prompts you to dig deeper, and guides you in exploring your own experiences to create emotional resonance. She doesn't just tell, she shows.

It made me so happy to hear people read out their poems, and then, to see Trivarna, hang on every word, repeat them, send them into the universe, like prayers. To share your writing here is to have a meal, by a river, on a tree, the warmth of caring is felt no matter what. Gratitude and goodwill flow through this group. I will always be grateful for this space.
- Akriti Goel, Writer & Teacher
