Meg’s retreat was a wonderful deep immersion into four days of writing. Thoughtfully put together it ensured that all of us, no matter what stage or level we were at were all more than adequately looked after. The structure of the days meant that there was plenty of opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the location as well as spend as little or as much time with our work as we wanted.

I had high expectations for this retreat, and it was so much more than I’d hoped.

Meg thought of everything. From planning to execution, it was relaxing, productive, interesting, inclusive and affirming. I’m looking forward to returning next year. I highly recommend a retreat with Meg.
