Ellis, through your words and guidance during your writing workshops you create a space that feels safe. I have never felt a hint of judgment, and have felt such a sense of encouragement that it makes me want to strive to forever grow as a writer. You have a calming and nurturing essence that also makes me want to always reach for the best of myself, even when it is hard and uncomfortable for me.”

— Janet Holmes Uchendu

Ellis is a great creativity coach because she is a true artist herself. Her creativity shines through in all she does. She provides a safe container for others to truly express themselves, and leads by example with honesty in her own work.”

I have a notebook just for Bewilderness writings. It has a slick green cover, and college-ruled pages linked with fine black rings. I touch the paper, and it rustles my words back to me. When I started the notebook nearly 2 years ago, I never imagined all it would carry. The not-knowing is what I love the most about Bewilderness Writing. Every Tuesday, I wake with a smile on my face and wonder “what will I write today?”

– Christie Allen, Greenville, SC
