To experience the River as a classroom, a place for sharing very deep and personal ideas with the other participants, left me feeling a real sense of amazement at the work that Chandra is doing with Freeflow, and intellectually fulfilled in a way that I was not expecting at the start. I truly believe the program has a lot to offer anyone who is looking to improve their craft both conceptually and practically, as the curriculum also shared great advice for utilizing one's skills in business aspects as well.

If you have the urge to write but you worry about what it might mean to expose yourself, this program is for you. Gentle, kind, secure, deep, welcoming, stimulating are just some of the words that describe my experience with Chandra.

I signed up for this workshop with a quiet inner writer and walked out with a more resonant outer voice. Through a healthy mix of soulful readings, group sharings, and deep reflection, I felt safe enough to be a beginner, yet challenged enough to truly grow. If you're looking for a low-stakes atmosphere that yields high-level results, Freeflow will get you there.

Thank you for guiding us through so many fertile prompts and exercises. I leave this workshop with many beautiful “starts of things,” paths to follow, and ways to move forward…Running across town, doubting if I could write that night, in that space, and still finding my access to creating so reliable, whether visually or in writing, has been such a wonderful takeaway from this experience. I feel I can use these tools, prompts, etc. as ways to find trailheads and access points going forward.
