“There is a certain magic in the hills of Suryalila. It sneaks up on you, until suddenly creative blocks that have been holding you back for years are dissolving before your very eyes. I would recommend this retreat to all writers, and especially to those who are feeling that particular writer’s brand of loneliness. The community we created during our short week has been invaluable and I can’t wait to keep writing with these beautiful people for years to come.”
— Isabel

“I'm so glad I took this leap into the unknown, digging and diving into myself. We cheered, and we shared meals and words, jokes, songs, and so, so much more. I feel so privileged that I witnessed all that, and I just cannot wait for the next opportunity.”
