"I felt very privileged to be in this setting with Aimee as a facilitator. Her kind, generous, and truly empathetic spirit kept us moving forward. I felt she had great capacity to reign in when necessary but also to let go when necessary. The writing circle was very respectful, set a beautiful atmosphere, with effective prompts for writing - group and personal. Quick writes are challenging and insightful, and I felt both supported and challenged. Lots of break time for thinking, reflecting, creating, writing and bonding. It was what I wanted and what I needed. I'll leave behind writing through the dark in favor of writing toward the light. While this is a retreat from the world, it is not a retreat from self. It is a 'reveal'."
