I loved all the different prompts and different amounts of writing time. Thank you for a powerful learning experience. I believe my writing became deeper, more descriptive, and more alive. I went places in my writing that tapped sources I was not aware were there. And Peggy--you are a wonderful, gentle, yet probing and imaginative leader. I am especially grateful for the positive focus and feedback. I'll keep coming back for more!
Katherine Johnson, Maryland
I’ve attended several retreats with Peggy....
At Seabrook I produced two short stories that I'm developing
into screenplays and a short story that evolved into a novel. The
Olympic Peninsula retreat allowed me to immerse myself in my creative
process and accelerated my momentum toward my writing goals... I will be
attending more retreats with Peggy. I consider them essential in any
writer's toolbox.

A class and retreat
participant, Heloise is completing her second novel.

The way Peggy structured the daily routine, combined with her
teaching, led me to some of the most creative, inspired and imaginative
moments I’ve experienced in my writing.
