The Life Righting Collective is a not for profit membership organisation. We run affordable in-person and online audio courses for anyone who wants to discover personal meaning, self-understanding and self-recovery in writing about their life experiences.
By providing a safe space to share our stories with others from all walks of life, the LRC promotes inclusiveness, cross-cultural learning and mutual understanding . We raise funds to make courses available to those in need of sponsorship and to provide platforms for these life stories to be published.
We’ve always got a good story to tell.
Keep yourself informed and inspired – sign up for our regular newsletter here.
We are extremely grateful for the support of our funders: the Beatrice Jordaan Foundation, the Amani Harmonic Foundation and the Owls Barn Trust.
This Is How It Is is a powerful collection of real South African stories - many having their beginnings in Life Righting Collective courses - stories of loss, love, resilience and renewal.
Each piece reveals the courage it takes to turn lived experience into healing. In a world that feels increasingly divided, This Is How It Is brings us back to what unites us — the need to be heard, seen and understood.
This anthology reminds us that storytelling is the human art of creating connection through sharing our stories.
When you purchase the anthology, you’re helping others find their voice through the LRC’s sponsored creative writing courses, which offer safe spaces for people to write about their lives.
Read it for yourself. Gift it to someone else. Every anthology sold helps support the sharing of new stories.
Marilyn Pigott, long-time friend and donor to the Life Righting Collective, has created an extraordinary multi-media memoir work of art called My Listening Heart.
Her memoir comprises a series of images and words, both written and narrated by Marilyn, as well as mesmerising piano pieces.
Marilyn is offering her memoir to the public free-of-charge; however, she is also requesting that as a gesture of reciprocity, it would be wonderful if people who have enjoyed reading and listening to her work, would please make a donation to the LRC here.
