When I arrived at Donna’s retreat, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I had the early threads of a book beginning to take shape, but something was keeping me from truly diving in. What I found was a space so thoughtfully held, it felt like something sacred.
Donna not only created a warm, welcoming container for writers at all stages, but she also met each of us where we were. She carved out time to sit with me one-on-one, offering personalized feedback that was both kind and clear, helping me untangle the parts of my story I was afraid to write. She brought gentle yet powerful tools to support the writing process—things I still return to when I feel stuck. The structure of the retreat offered the perfect balance: quiet time to dive into our work and group sessions that created a sense of connection, inspiration, and shared momentum.
I left the retreat not only with more pages written, but with a deeper trust in myself as a writer. Donna’s guidance gave me the push I needed to step fully into my story, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.
