WE TEACH LIFE RIGHTING THROUGH LIFE WRITING
The healing power of writing
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.
Thank you
We are extremely grateful for the support of our funders: the Beatrice Jordaan Foundation, the Amani Harmonic Foundation and the Khula Cape Foundation.
COURSES
We offer a variety of life writing courses in a range of formats – mornings over five days, weekends in and out of Cape Town – as well as poetry courses, also in Cape Town and other centres.
STORIES
Read work from course participants. We hope these pieces will inspire you to consider writing your own stories and also buying our anthology, This is How It Is, and other books by our members.
