    Hillary is intuitive, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her workshops are a pleasure and informative as well as uplifting. You will learn something new about yourself! She helps participants tap into deeper purpose and positive goals through relaxation, mindfulness, and gentle "first steps" which encourage participants' self-actualization. Anyone curious about making positive shifts in their life should take her workshops. She effortlessly encourages and inspires. Bring an open mind,and be prepared for a wonderfully positive experience where you relax, gain introspection, and write. I would love to take more classes with Hillary. She has much to offer. Highly recommended.

    LOVED Hillary's Qi Gong class. We talked about life, mindfulness, meditated, then did Qi Gong. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor!

    I was very interested in this practice of mindfulness for sometime. I really had no agenda
    Or expectations. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was not.
    The class was so informative about the mind, the body. ... Perception. & thinking
    Processes. Hillary was sharing information with what I
    felt was sincere generosity. I will be staying in this class. & looking forward.

    Open, honest, inspiring. If you're looking for some inspiration to keep writing or want some motivation to continue, sign up for this class. It doesn't matter what genre you actually write or want to write, just do it.

    Very wonderful teacher! I would definitely like to take more classes with her! :-)

    From Teacher:

    Jenny, thanks for the wicked awesome review. You did some great work. I'm so glad you felt like the genre didn't matter because that's a big thing - whether you want to write prose or poetry, fiction or non, genre or whatever - we are open for you! More class starting very soon. I'll send a message as promised.
    Thanks again and meanwhile - write on,
    Hillary

    I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for this workshop, but I was really excited! It was very interactive, and allowed me to think of reading and writing in a different way. I would absolutely recommend it, no matter your experience!

    Hillary (the instructor) is great--very insightful and engaging.

    From Teacher:

    Shavahn, Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. You really got some writing going too! Hope to see you in a workshop again sometime. Best, Hillary

    What a wonderful surprise! I have a M.A. in journalism and have participated in various writers' conferences and seminars and this was on par with some of the best ... but way, way cheaper! Hillary is also friendly, knowledgable and nurturing.

    Kim, Thanks so much for the kind words. It was wonderful having you in the group last night. Loved hearing your party story.

    I hope you enjoy your time in Chicago. There's such a lively writing community here. Welcome to it!

    Whether you're interested in writing fiction, non-fiction, memoirs or just have the desire to hone your writing skills, Hillary Johnson's workshop is the perfect place to do so. Hillary provides writers of all different levels the opportunity to develop their craft in an intimate, inviting setting. Her down to earth, supportive attitude along with her inspiring and insightful exercises allowed me to realize that there are no limits when it comes to writing and your imagination. I left the class knowing that writers block is all in your head. There is no need to sensor, edit, or stop yourself during the writing process. Just keep your ideas and thoughts flowing and tell your story. After just one class I felt more confident about my skills as well as more motivated and encouraged to keep at it. I have a lot more to learn and I'm excited to do so with Hillary! I highly recommend Hillary Johnson's workshop!P
