Testimonials

  • "What a pleasure it was to be in your company this past weekend. It is not easiest thing to do - join a group of strangers while hoping to find the mental space to explore one’s craft. Kathy, Angela, and Pat made this remarkably easy for me. Their warm welcome, convivial approach to our evenings, and the endless efforts to make sure our bodies and souls were well nourished with both food, breath, and words - was a much needed reprieve for me. Thank you."

Thank you so much you three for creating such a safe space...enough for us all to come together, or to be alone…I spent a lot of time taking in the spirit and energy of your generosity…and to the women who you three created such a treat for…I have been in many groups and communities... you three set the standard...I am grateful to each and every one of you on this weekend journey, for giving me the opportunity to look at and into myself, and see my reflection in each and every one of you."
