“Claudia is a natural listener.”
She is very genuinely interested in people’s stories, intuitively knowing how to set an atmosphere of trust and ease that allows a narrative to unfold naturally.

“It was a fantastic experience!”
This was the first writer’s group I ever tried. The 2-page-a-week goal was very do-able, the group was supportive of each other, and our leader set the tone each week with lots of stimulating poems, excerpts and ideas from other writers.

I truly feel blessed by our small group and the safe space to share our stories and lives while having a purpose and direction to write.

“Claudia has an instinctive understanding of what it means to support someone in a creative endeavor — and in ... necessary steps that lead up to a creative breakthrough. Her genuine interest and enthusiasm help me to feel energized anew about work I am doing.”
“Deeply fulfilling.”
… especially the combination of looking deeply and honestly into one’s experience of the week’s topic and wanting to write as engagingly as possible for the reading aloud of one’s two pages each week.
— A.S.
“Thank you, Claudia Filos.”
I now have twenty pages written about my life that, maybe someday, my daughter and granddaughters will enjoy reading.
— J.G..
