Story Circle Network conference participants' evaluation comments 
 
Dawn's enthusiasm inspired me to write again and she helped me to set goals and increase self-esteem.        Lori
 
An opportunity was presented to me to participate in a Journaling class conducted by Dawn Espelage. Through this opportunity I experienced Ms. Espelage's teaching and guidance. I found this class to be informative and mind opening. She showed me a way to express myself through life's journey. I have found that her class has helped in my healing process and now I embrace Journaling as part of my growth process.  Kristy

 

If you want to learn how to get the most out of your journaling experience, you have definitely come to the right place.  Dawn has a wonderful talent for inspiring and creates an awesome journaling atmosphere.  She provides different perspectives and helps you to see the many avenues journaling can take you.  I was privileged to take her classes.  I truly enjoyed working with Dawn and will do so again.  Traci
