Spirit of Love Class
" I enrolled in Jean’s ‘Transformative Writing’ class about 3 or 4 years ago. The sessions were engaging, and I was inspired
to write more. But daily demands did not allow me to write as much as I would have liked after that. But I thought of
Jean often and how she encouraged me to write no matter what. I was tickled at this time to take another of her classes;
this one, though, about Love. I had no idea what to expect and was glad to know she had written a book, ‘Living in the Spirit
of Love,’ that would be used in class. I ordered it and was able to read and go over the assignment even though I missed the first
class due to tech difficulties. That did not matter at all; we have more than made up for that. Jean’s class offers every
opportunity to think, write, do, and be about Love. It has indeed been ‘transformative’ because I wanted to contemplate
Love from a different perspective with hopes of attracting more of it. The ingredients of Love that Jean sets out in the book
cause self-reflection and the exercises bring about selfawareness. The weekly assignments and interactions with Jean have set me
on my path to greater patience and freedom, and ultimately, greater self-love. I recommend this class to everyone who wants to
uncover the ‘diamond within’ so they can love self and others with a renewed spirit.
Thank you, Jean for being “all about Love.”

I really loved this class! Dr. Jean Marie Farish's book, "Living in the Spirit of Love" was just what I needed during this period. I've always been a seeker of truth and the book expanded my knowledge on LOVE emphasizing it as "Our Natural State of Being". The book also magnified the truth about LOVE in a way that helps the reader to understand that LOVE starts with you and your self-care. I now understand that you really can't love anyone properly until you truly learn to love yourself. It offered a framework that empowered me with knowledge how to grow and choose LOVE on a daily basis"-Anonymous

"Dr. Farish knows how to encourage and empower her students. She sees the emerging writer inside and works her magic to coax him or her out!'- Ryan Cook
-+Of all the things we did, I especially loved the 100 Life Events assignment. I call this list "My Bucket List for Writing." Everyday events from the past and present are prompts for writing; even predictions for the future."
"This class helped jump start me into my writing. I can't wait for Part 2"
