“Your retreats and workshops are about more than writing or journaling or reflecting. They're about sharing space (digital or physical) with women who are walking different paths and encountering different struggles but still finding a common need for community and support and stillness. We get the opportunity to think about ourselves in a present, immediate moment. The instructions and encouragement you provide give all of the participants permission to think about themselves in different ways, to turn difficult feelings into opportunities, and to witness the personal growth and possibilities of all the other women gathered together. There's an urgent connection and a lot of trust, which is nearly impossible to find elsewhere.
The fact is, I'm proud of you because all the women around me in your workshops are radiating such love and peace and grace at the end of them, it's impossible not to feel good about who you are and what you do. It's an important talent you have - and unique. I've been to dozens of conferences, workshops, writing classes, etc. None of them are like yours. You provide something that goes beyond the writing. It's more holistic and it heals.” -Cari Oleskiwecz
