This is the third class I've taken from Poupeh, and for the third time everyone—EVERYONE—was clamoring for a four-weeker. That's a reflection of how alive we came at Poupeh's content, insight, spirit, and exhortation. I'm actually tearing up as I write this; her classes go far beyond technique to the deepest places of our humanness -- which, of course, our writing is an extension of. Bless Poupeh for every class, and bless Lighthouse for bringing her as often as possible.
