Testimonials

"August has a soothing way of expressing himself and opening up students. I love the idea of writing from the heart. The exercises he introduced were very helpful. I need to be more centered and focused with some writing projects I'm working on and his prompts certainly helped! I highly recommend taking his classes!" ~Juliet Seer Pazera

"I had such a unique experience under August’s guidance for intuitive writing. He is patient, mindful, supportive, and encouraging. His passion for writing fuels his excitement as he brings you through playful and explorative exercises that allow you to explore your inner realm. It was a beautiful opportunity for me to sit fully with my own intuition and let my writing flow in ways I hadn’t tried previously. I feel the session with August allowed me to be more expressive in my writing, and more awareness of myself in general. I highly recommend you connect with August and see whatever flows out of your pen." ~Katrina Krogstad
