🌺 " I built a whole community in 3 days -- that's not something a person gets to do every week. As someone whose self-hatred/depression/anxiety seemingly holds her back at turn after turn, your retreat enabled me to stand on the verge of creating something. That was such a welcome and refreshing break from the norm! I attribute the encouraging atmosphere to your listening skills, to the joy/whimsy that you exude when you are among writers (maybe elsewhere as well :)), and to the writers that you attract !" – Libby, Writers at the Beach 2024
🌺 "We all enjoyed a restorative 4 days in a magnificent beach house whose panoramic view of the ocean was dazzling, especially in the morning. The lack of pressure from Cindy, who offered us our choice of level of involvement, encouraged my desire not only to edit but to rest! I did both, and actually finished four sections of my book. Cindy also offered a number of group sessions, including group writing periods… very helpful and encouraging. I look forward to any other retreats Cindy puts together, and I would gladly return." -- Donna C, Writers at the Beach 2024
