“This was a very special container and the retreat was just what I needed. The location was amazing, the people were amazing, it was just perfect! Before the retreat, I was nervous because I didn’t know who would be there and what it would be like. During the retreat, I felt completely in the moment and enjoyed every single minute. I loved getting to intimately know the other women and feeling really safe with them. I loved all the time in nature and the location really felt like home away from home. The meals were incredible, as was the experience of sharing food together. The yoga was wonderful and I was able to participate as much as I felt comfortable doing. The journey writing was transformational. After the retreat, I felt nourished and rested. I wish it could have been even longer! I definitely want to do another one of Shani’s retreats!” — Cara, Journey Writer
“Shani’s Journey Writing Retreat was just what I needed! Time away from normal life, in a beautiful location, with wonderful people, food, yoga and outdoor activities, and a peaceful and comfortable house to hold us all. Shani’s writing facilitation was excellent and her enthusiasm made everything fun and welcoming. The writing was easy to get the hang of and I found it eye-opening and really fun! I came back feeling refreshed and relaxed and like I had been able to express myself in a safe place.” — Leslie, Journey Writer
“Shani did a wonderful job of welcoming everyone and taking our needs and wants into consideration. I am very grateful I got to attend and am looking forward to future retreats. Shani is a warm, open spirit who is generous with her energy and talents. She creates a safe container in which women are able to share their most intimate truths and build community. No previous writing experience needed. Interested in learning more about yourself while meeting amazing women…this is for you!” — Sandra, Journey Writer
” The location was amazing– being able to write on the deck with views of redwood trees and beautiful birds chirping was such a treat, as was swimming in the river and enjoying the hot tub during the breaks! The meals were incredible, the schedule flexible, and overall I felt so grateful that I decided to give myself the gift of time to write and rejuvenate in the magical forest of the Russian River!” — Sammy, Journey Writer
