“It's a strange paradox when you go away on a writing retreat and come out not having the words to describe the magic that happened. I feel restored.”

“Thank you, Hazel Hayes, for holding this retreat. Thank you for the kindness in collecting us all together in this magical place, greeting us all with compassion and grace, enabling us to extend that same kindness and understanding to ourselves through the page.

I think we all found ourselves a little, and were able to leave behind a little of what was no longer serving us as writers. So thank you.

Endlessly, thank you.”

— Helena.

“I'm so glad I took this leap into the unknown, digging and diving into myself. We cheered, and we shared meals and words, jokes, songs, and so, so much more. I feel so privileged that I witnessed all that, and I just cannot wait for the next opportunity.”
