The people!!! The sense of community & connection overall — all the unplanned moments of magic (singing & dancing & joking & playing & everything in between).
The place — both Ireland (pure mystical magic) & the Temple House (grand, historical, visually interesting).
The food (quality, variety, & having it all provided).
Obviously the poetry focus & so much freedom to explore & express & hear other people's work.

It was a great in every way- the accommodations were like a dream...amazing food, beautiful scenery. I loved that it was all women. I loved the balance of more formal writing workshops with Anne Marie and more causal writing with Christi.

-
Well-paced schedule; days didn't feel overloaded with activities
-
Excellent workshops -Inclusive conversations that let each person speak their truth and take up space -GORGEOUS location. I was very sad to not wake up in a castle on Tues
-
Having the group in one space that we had all to ourselves was incredible. Uninterrupted access to cozy rooms and amenities allowed for deep conversation and connection to bloom
-
All women group (I will happily attend mixed retreats in the future, but this women's only space empowered us to cry/talk/experience moments that likely wouldn't have happened in a coed group)
-
Perfect group size
-
Amazing communication pre/during/post trip
