"Emily's retreats reconnect me to my creativity and release parts of myself I either need to reclaim or let go. These retreats strengthen my resolve to protect that time I need for my creative outlets and works to help me create balance in my life."

       ~ Carolyn Rowland, participant in several past retreats

"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
