Building bridges between Languages, Literature and Personal Narratives

I strongly believe that words have the intrinsic power to heal, soothe and embellish life. Meaningful words nourished through literature, empathetic dialogue and supportive listening help us connect with a richer, wholesome inner life and strengthen bonds within the community of learners /readers.”

The Reading Experience

Weekly meetings to read, listen to and celebrate the written word and each reader’s unique voice and understanding of the texts we share: novels and short stories of outstanding writers.

Conversation Groups

In our small conversation groups you will have the chance to explore and use the language in a welcoming and supportive environment in which every participant will grow in confidence to use the language non-judgementally, creatively and suited to their individual needs and learning pace.

“Words like us to think, and they like us to feel, before we use them; but they also like us to pause; to become unconscious. Our unconsciousness is their privacy; our darkness is their light.

VIRGINIA WOOLF, ON CRAFTSMANSHIP, 1937

“I have created a  space where I blend Language and Literature called The Reading Experience. At the Reading Experience the protagonists are the readers and their unique voices into the selected narratives.”
