Enrollment Open! Writing: Death & Spirituality
Enrollment is now open for Writing: Death and Spirituality, a 7-week course in our Thanatology track. Taught by published author Suzette Martinez Standring, this course will help you carve out space to write, provide opportunity for feedback and community, and introduce you to new techniques.
How The Course Works
Live lectures take place each Tuesday from 7-9pm Eastern. The 2 hour time is broken into a presentation, time spent writing, and time in group discussion (either as an entire class or in breakout sessions). In the back end of the course, you’ll have access to additional content, each week’s slides, and more. If you can’t attend a live class, a recording will be posted. You can watch that at anytime. Class size is limited.
Hear What Past Students Said:
“This was such a safe haven during an incredibly demanding time in my life–thank you for the positivity and support, as well as for holding such tender, sacred space for writing. I loved being here.”
“I strongly recommend this course! It helped me gain a much better understanding of my own experiences with death and gave me a new tool to process those experiences while also giving me a solid understanding of article writing in general. As a fiction writer, I didn’t think at first that these skills would be very helpful for me, but in hearing from other peoples’ experiences and processing my own, I think even my fiction work will be improved by this course. The non-fiction writing is also very fulfilling on its own–addressing the truths of your life and processing them on the page is a wonderful experience, and something I intend to continue doing. ”
“This class was informative, encouraging, uplifting, challenging and fun! Suzette is a wonderful teacher in her honest critique, encouraging words and instruction. The breakout meetings were especially beneficial as I was able to interact with other students, learn from them and encourage and be encouraged by them. I’m hoping for a follow-up class!”
“This course was great! It was a lovely opportunity to learn more about writing and sharpen my writing skills within an encouraging community. It’s especially helpful being in a community of like-minded, death-minded writers. In other circles, writing about death and spirituality can be intimidating and ill-received from others, so it was refreshing to be around such a supportive and talented group.”
“Learned so much from this course that I can carry on into my future writing for my Doula business. My journaling has even become more interesting. The lectures were perfect and the groups in Cole’s classes are diverse and interesting. I love meeting all the different people. Thank you both so much!”
