Her facilitation is graceful and intuitive, filled with love, powerful insights, and ways of seeing deep into you

"Marn's writing workshops are a healing offering that is rare to find. Each week, I felt myself open and ease into processing different layers of what was moving through my body, mind, and spirit. Her facilitation is graceful and intuitive, filled with love, powerful insights, and ways of seeing deep into you that feel nurturing and give you permission to finally see yourself with the same bright eyes. The women she attracts are truly just as caring, talented, and genuine as Marn, which created a safe, nourishing, and enjoyable space amongst us even when we were exploring heavier material. There's so much I could say about this workshop and Marn but it's a sliver of the full embodiment of the gorgeous, uplifting, and unique journey that I experienced."

Easily one of the best things I’ve ever done for my well-being

“I joined Marn's Women's Writing as Healing workshops during a transitional period in my life when healing and reconnecting with my love of writing had become essential. Something truly magical transpires through Marn's facilitation. She leads by example, responding thoughtfully to each contribution, holding space, and validating where we are in our healing journey. Her intuitive, attentive approach creates a nearly palpable sense of safety and connection in the room, transforming strangers into a circle of trust, support, and inspiration. ... Attending her workshops is easily one of the best things I've ever done for my well-being, for my love of writing, and for my sense of wonder and appreciation for women.”

Absolute and pure magic

“Participating in Marn's writing workshop has easily become the highlight of my week. Not only is she a beautiful writer herself, she is just a wonderful and kind energy. She is warm and inviting when we all meet, and she provides such reflective and insightful feedback. She has created a truly nurturing environment to allow for writers at all levels to flourish. Each session is thoughtfully curated with guided meditations, inspiring quotes and video clips, and provoking prompts. Marn provides a space where we can all write freely, share vulnerably and hold each other with such compassion. When we get together in her workshop, it is absolute and pure magic.”

Calming energy peppered with humour and brilliant passion for the literary

“I have had the great pleasure of co-facilitating writing workshops with Marn Norwich at Pacifica several times over the past year and a half. Marn’s calming energy peppered with her humour and brilliant passion for the literary make her as much a teacher for me as she is a colleague. I am in awe of her ability to engage the participants and guide them gently and knowledgeably on a journey of healing through written expression.”

Acute and empathetic, experienced and talented

“I am an experienced journalist who has a soon-to-be published memoir. But I was stuck—the proverbial writer’s block. With Marn’s professional guidance, I was able to be at one with my Mac again. Over the course of several coaching sessions, I wrote an extremely personal piece with Marn as my editor. She was acute and empathetic, experienced and talented—in fact, nothing short of brilliant. I ended up with a piece so polished that I submitted it to a national newspaper. I am confident it will be published. Thank you, Marn.”
