Comments from one of this year’s Creating a Writing Life retreat participants…

"The workshop this year was WONDERFUL! You out did yourself. I always love meeting all the writers at your workshop. I felt as if I was in the room with kindred spirits. Although I always feel that way
when I visit you Patty! And hearing myself say it...it sounds hokey, but I truly believe that coming to your workshop every year is the most spiritual thing I do . . . it is one of the most profound ways in which I honor my writing. And when I visit I always feel peaceful and serene and re-energized. And I spend the rest of the year waiting for the next workshop. My visit to Mystic is like a little ember I carry with me throughout the year. I really do love it. And I cannot thank you enough for letting me visit every year. Your workshops speak to the soul...they provide focus...and they remind writers that we are not alone in the vast oceans of inspiration and creativity."
