"Emily is a magically gifted teacher who recognizes that we all possess the ability to awaken the power of self-discovery. With her guidance, I learned to hush my inner critic and discover hidden parts of me that delight in the unseen. This supports not only my writing but my sense of myself. This is where I believe creativity lives."

~ Cathy Rakov, a participant in the August 2007 Retreat

"I have never in any "creative group," or writing group, felt so connected, such a closeness, as I did with all of you!!! And I just can't thank you all enough!!!"
