Past Participants' Feedback

I had a great time on the retreat. I think I underwent some kind of tectonic shift. I’m back in my old life, but everything looks different.  Everything feels different. I honestly can’t remember when I had so much fun.

"I know I have changed. I have grown more accepting of myself. I have let myself fly unfettered and alive. I have felt childlike and adult at the same time, responsible for the process but enjoying it with the wonder of a small child. It has been simply amazing."

                                                   ~ Michelle Burton

"There were so many good things about the weekend, so many extraordinary women. I feel like I made so many breakthroughs…I think the biggest, the one I feel best about, is that I no longer feel alone…"

"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!!!"

A Poem by Jean Aloe written during the retreat in darkness - the seeds of light germinate   a prison is bars across your soul - open the window   when all is dark a single flame extinguishes it   when a flame is lit who remembers the darkness   when a flame is lit even the darkness forgets itself
