Rory’s workshop is a stepping out. It is a step out of the pedestrian world of the everyday and a invitation to delve, explore, experiment and play. It is a supremely creative environment with ideas to short circuit the critic and unleash the beast, the child, the truth teller, the dreamer within. She offers tools to arm you back in the real world, keeping you productive, working and digging deeply. She has helped me to establish a creative practice so that, where ever I am, I can always find my way home. Don’t miss it.

This is not just a writing workshop. It is a unique and extraordinary experience and Rory is a very gifted and gentle guide. It is serene and safe. You are always supported by both Rory and the group, and the journey that each of us went on during the course was rich, gently examined and full of wonder. It really is a gift, and I feel incredibly grateful to have found such an oasis in the heart of LA.                                 Sophie J, Los Angeles

Write to be you not only encapsulates the writer within, but the emotional journey the writer takes when putting pen to paper.  Rory guides each writer to find their own voice and believe in the process of letting the mind go to discover the layers underneath the surface.  I found that after each session I felt more in sync with myself and my world that surrounded me, and I had been given the gift of tuning in.  I think Rory has found her true calling in combining her  psychology credentials with her experience as a writer to create a platform for others to reach their creative writing potential…and understand a bit more about themselves along the way. Jennifer H, Los Angeles

As a stay at home mom with a sudden urge for reinvention, I joined Rory’s workshop on a whim. It seemed like a lifetime ago that I had actually been a working screenwriter, and after years of focusing all my energy on motherhood I had completely lost confidence in my voice as well as the the discipline and motivation that had fueled me in the past. From the first day I sat down in Rory’s inviting living room, the words came pouring back to me. Rory’s magical touch has lit the fire in me to be a writer again and has inspired me to work on completing a manuscript. ~Jessica B

The Write To Be You workshop has transformed my writing and my life. This class has empowered me in so many ways. I never could have imagined that I would receive so much out of a workshop! It has taken me from loathing to write anything, to looking forward to sitting down to write, whether it be for personal or professional reasons. Write To Be You has uncovered creativity I didn’t realize I had. My life has changed on a deep level since taking Core Connection. I love the added support of Rory’s blog and writing prompts.  I can’t get enough of this course!  Jen W, Los Angeles

Write To Be You was one of those experiences that happen once in a lifetime.  Not only is the setting a place of zen, but Rory’s guided imagery, soothing voice and her surprising writing prompts unleash a world that you might have forgotten even existed.  I never wanted to be a writer, but this class not only made me realize I could write and had a voice, but it helped me conquer fears within me.  To my delight and surprise I now have five new friends that I have bonded with in an intense, deep and meaningful way.  It’s our own circle of trust, no judgements only love and support.  This is one of those “must do’s” to put on your list!      Jennifer T , Los Angeles

Rory is an extraordinary teacher and guide.  Her visionary approach to unlocking one’s potential while “writing to be you” is such a positive and life affirming experience.  You are always in good hands and through this class you will find that inspiration abounds.  So thankful to have experienced this class and can’t recommend highly enough!  -Julie M, Los Angeles

I took this class to see if I could challenge myself and do something out of my comfort zone. I wasn’t sure what to expect. To my surprise and delight, Rory, through her amazing ability to teach, not only opened my ability to write and explore my thoughts, but made me forget my hectic life for two hours and indulge me in ME time. I have never felt so comfortable and open as I have in her workshop. I’m not quite sure if it’s her soothing voice or her non judgmental attitude that gave me comfort to not only write, but to also read aloud and share. I highly recommend that everyone give themselves this priceless gift & try it at least once. Rory is highly talented, gifted and just a fantastic energy to be around. Do yourself a favor & sign up, because believe me you are going to love it and just like me you are going to beg her for more classes! Marjie M, Los Angeles

This is the perfect workshop and I am thrilled to have discovered it! Having been to a few amazing workshops I can say by far this is the best and it is our very own backyard! The wonder that Rory gives us to explore our deepest thoughts in an extremely nurturing environment is a magic combination not to be missed. I am writing again after such a long break! This is a jewel of a class.

I signed up for Rory’s Write To Be You class because I’m interested in getting comfortable with writing again for both personal and professional reasons.I wasn’t expecting to get instruction in her workshop, though what I did get was much more valuable. Rory has an extraordinary gift for gently easing you into the writing process and gives you the most creative prompts. I went there rusty and ambivalent and Rory instantly remedied that by creating a warm and safe environment along with thoughtful & provocative writing exercises. You can’t write anything ‘wrong’ in Write to Be You and you can only realize how good it feels to write. Her workshop is the best most unexpected gift I’ve given myself in a long time.  I highly recommend it to any thoughtful individual who desires more creative expression in their life.

When my dear friend  suggested I take a “writing” class and told me I would love it, I thought she had lost her mind.  First of all, I have three children and a hectic life and schedule and second,  given the fact that I do not consider myself a writer , I pretty much blew her and the idea off … politely.  Then the universe presented the opportunity to enroll and I felt like it was a sign and figured ‘what the heck’.  I teach parenting classes and talk to my parents about the importance of  ”self care”.  Little did I know when I signed up that those two hours a week would be one of the best things I have ever done for myself!  I had an epiphany about three weeks into the group that this class is not about the “WRITE to be you” but about the “write to be YOU”.  I found myself looking forward to the two hours to myself a week to completely lose myself; find myself ; and connect with myself and the other wonderful members of our group.  Rory is one of the most insightful and beautiful people on the planet and this class was one of the most wonderful gifts I have ever given myself!  I recommend that you make yourself a priority and take the time to do this phenomenal course, it is worth every penny and them some, in fact, the experience is priceless!!   Melanie P, Los Angeles

When I walked into Rory’s world I was tentative about a class with strangers, writing, creating, expressing, that wasn’t based on a college curriculum.   I knew though that I was looking for a unique writing experience and the six weeks in Rory’s workshop surpassed my expectations.  Not only was I surprised at the depth and honesty her well-crafted prompts provoked in my writing, but that I left bonded with group of women whose personal strength and beauty infused me with a new found fortitude that I carry around with me every day.

Thank you Rory for creating such a safe and nurturing space for all of us to spread our wings a bit.  I’ve so enjoyed flapping and flying with all the wonderful women!   I’ve learned so much from everyone, and pushed myself to be vulnerable and to stop giving too much validation to my inner critic.  Those are seriously big things for a once a week 2 hour meeting.  Thank you for your gentle guidance, insight and creativity.  You have a gift, and we have been the lucky recipients.                                 Mady W.

 Thank you again for the class…I wish everytime I took a chance and did something a little uncomfortable…turns out to be wonderful for the spirit… for creativity, making some new and lovely friends, and the inspiration to do more of it!  Your class was my baby step to going back to my career… starting in the new year doing some continuing education classes… and then business card… and voila… I did it!  Thank you again, Rory… you were a wonderful facilitator in so many areas for me…                                       Deanna S.

Rory Green is a writer and therapist who has put together a one of a kind workshop that combines her formal training as a therapist with her life long gift of writing.  The outcome for me, was a surprising and extraordinary journey!  I connected with parts of myself that I haven’t visited in a long time, but was able to do so in a safe and empathic environment.  From the moment I walked through the doors, I left behind my hectic life and entered a sanctuary full of calming aromas and pleasing sounds. The two hours, which flew by each week, were filled with thought provoking & stimulating writing exercises.  I have to confess, I am not a writer, nor do I aspire to be one.  By signing up for this class, I got to be playful, imaginative, expressive and experimental.  All parts of me that I didn’t know were there percolating deep beneath the surface. I felt supported, brave and heard.  Rory has developed a winning method by combining therapeutic thinking with writing exercises.  It truly is a gift to oneself! Dawn H, Los Angeles

The Write to be You blog has become one of the highlights of my week. A time for reflection. A short window to contemplate the wider world and leave the mundane, everyday behind. Your thoughts allow me to daydream with purpose. And I love to daydream. Now my cup is half full as much as it is half empty. Soon, with a bit of courage mixed with a dash of time I may even Ready, Steady, Write…and by the way I am telling everyone that they must get on board this train. Fast!
