"I arrived at the retreat with what I believed was solid knowledge of my challenges and barriers. While there, I realized that those challenges were only the visible part of the iceberg, and that I would have to go deeper to more fully learn of the internal barriers. Thankfully, Michelle was there to support me in going deeper, questioning, and trying new techniques to get the most out of my writing time."

"Imagine a place where you can put your outside life on hold, where you are encouraged to breathe deep and relax. One that supports and nourishes your body and spirit, all to help you rekindle a healthy relationship with your writing. You learn what your writing practice is, how to improve, and most importantly, how to transition back to the life you left behind but not lose everything you gained."
