What People Are Saying:

This course is so beautiful and affirming, Holly. I appreciate it so much.

Heather M.

Oceans Without End offered me a little bit of daily magic and creativity. I would steal 10 to 20 minutes a day to dedicate to my own practice of writing, reading, listening and imagining. Holly put together a beautiful course with so much attention to each and every detail. The content was not overwhelming but instead rich and thought-provoking. The poems she selected were diverse and so well considered. Holly's lectures/lessons were warm and intimate and felt like visiting with a friend to discuss ideas and techniques of writing. I was able to use the specific yet open-ended writing prompts to reflect on the transition into Motherhood I have been undergoing. Holly has a wonderful way of reminding us that being a poet doesn’t need to be a full-time, all-consuming occupation. Instead, poetry can be found in daily life, and by simply shifting your attention in that direction, spaciousness and beauty is discovered. I came away from the course with an archive of the unique summer I was experiencing as a new mother and I know I will cherish the words that I generated in the years to come.

I’ve wanted to express my pleasure with my experience with Oceans too. Your way of reminding how we can live poetically spoke to me. I’ve been attentive to my noticing moment to moment and making a point of bringing this onto the page. Your simple invitations into writing have lightened and deepened my experience of writing. I’m finding myself more free. It is wonderful to be releasing the pressures of “trying” to write and finding where I get into a flow.
