From Susannah Conway…

I’m a photographer, writer and creator of the Unravelling e-courses, and I live in Bath in south-west England. I studied photography in the early 90s and then went on to become a fashion editor on a national newspaper. I lost my partner in 2005 and it was this sudden bereavement that turned my life inside-out. I left London and moved to the south coast, and from there i stepped onto a painful yet ultimately healing path; while working through my grief in therapy I discovered blogging and met some incredible people online. A trip to the States to meet up with blog friends inspired me to take up photography again and, really, that was when life started blossoming once more. After setting up my own photography business I began teaching self-awareness workshops locally that used the camera as a way to see ourselves, drawing on everything I’d learned on my grief journey. I now lead these Unravelling classes on-line; it’s such an incredible honour to be able to share this with others.

About the e-courses…

The Unravelling e-courses are designed to help you heal the way you see your self and your world, using photography and journalling to access hidden thoughts and dreams, encouraging personal realisations and ultimately acceptance. Susannah is your guide through this process, sharing her insights and wisdom gleaned from a four-year voyage through grief and healing.

The original Unravelling: Ways of Seeing My Self e-course takes you on a photo safari into your own life to reconnect with who you are, where you’ve been and where you want to go next. And now, launching in autumn 2009, Unravelling Further: Exploring the Senses will deepen this new-found connection to self, exploring the joys of sensual living as you reawaken your senses one by one.

The next Unravelling WOSMS class starts on September 28th 2009.

Susannah 09.08.09 at 4:13 am: thank you for having me, Jamie! x
Barry Fraser 09.08.09 at 10:38 am: If a relatively uncreative male can sneak in the backdoor and listen quietly to the podcast, let me say that I enjoyed the exchange between the two of you and found the ideas expressed were both practical and inspirational.

So, I’m calling myself a writer from now on.
Karen 09.08.09 at 3:05 pm: I am starting this ecourse in September, I am so excited.

Rebekah 09.12.09 at 5:44 pm: This was great to listen to, and I especially liked the parts about how we get in our own way and giving oneself permission. Thank you for sharing this with us!
