Dear Community, Readers, and Writers,
Every Impact Writing workshop is different. This time we had a combination of live and online participants who rocked the room with tears, laughter, and a-ha breakthrough moments that left me as the instructor blown away. We had writer levels varying from a woman working on her PhD for Oxford to a professional audiobook reader to a journalist to a memoirist to women who came insisting they were not writers at all, but were curious about the process.
Here are their words about what happened:
“The impact writing weekend was an inspiring and fun-filled weekend of getting to know ourselves as writers through the lens of the Path Elements and learning how to overcome the obstacles that can get in the way of writing. I left with practical and easy to implement ideas and motivation to tell my story. A warm, wonderful, and well-spent weekend.” Sarah B
“This workshop is transformational! I was surprised and moved in what emerged from me through just a few hours of the Impact Writing workshop. It was a powerful and playful experience in writing. The pace, content, teaching and wisdom provided me to express myself on paper in ways unimaginable to me. For the first time I felt ease and flow in writing. That was and is priceless. I would attend the workshop again and again. The discovery of yourself as a writer through the Path Elements was highly supportive in uncovering my voice. The community connection and feedback was invaluable. Laurie Beth's wisdom, playfulness and guidance was priceless.” Sally R
“I came to the writers workshop as a non-believer in myself. I left as a born again, writer, full of joy and vision. The value has been priceless and life-changing for me.” Sharon W
“Where to begin.....it was all wonderful and impacting! The timed writing exercises helped to reignite my passion for writing; the Path Elements lesson was enlightening; meeting and sharing with Shelly and the other participants was inspiring; and hearing and learning from Laurie Beth was truly life changing. An amazing opportunity to grow and be inspired to write with lasting impact.” Frederica H
“Thank you Laurie Beth. The weekend has been so impactful for me. The depth of love and community we all experienced, the encouragement and permission to speak clearly and loudly and the vibrant content and opportunities to speak to each others' words and souls. Thank you for unleashing the writer in each of us.” Kathy F
“I am forever amazed each and every time, for what happens, when a room is filled with writers, open hearts, and Laurie Beth Jones. Impact Writing is making me a better writer. Thank you Laurie.” Shelly S
My next Impact Writing workshop is October 24-26, 2025.
Join us in person or online. My joy in doing these workshops is to help set people free. Free from the fear of writers block and from comparison to others. I wish you could’ve been in the room to hear their fresh words pouring forth. I hope next time I’ll hear yours.
LBJ ~ Live. Breathe. Joy.
