"I’m still beaming with joy from the bond we formed in the barn. Stories shared through written words in such a sacred space felt truly special. Bear Mountain Inn and the Wisdom and Words retreat were a twelve out of ten!"

"The Wisdom and Words Retreat was like nothing I have ever experienced before. Darcey led us throughout with her knowing and gentle hand. We made magic on that mountain in Maine, an organic evolution of the deep well of community starting, all starting with a pen on the page. The energy provided a disarming atmosphere beginning with our first meeting in the glorious 200-year-old barn that became our cathedral of words. The collective consciousness that emerged was infused with creativity, vulnerability, humor, strength, and more than a few shenanigans, all in a safe, inclusive space. New writers, seasoned writers, published and unpublished writers: every story mattered as evidenced in our extraordinary Saturday Story Salon. CALL TO ALL WRITERS: Do not miss the next Wisdom and Words retreat (and the next, and the next, and the next!) So grateful to Darcey and the incredible group of writers who made it all happen."

"Wow, what an amazing retreat in beautiful Maine with wonderful writers! It sparked so many ideas for me - and so much of the information in the workshops has stayed with me days later. The readings by participants were electric and moved some of us to tears. Words and Wisdom was the petri dish of all things wonderful to do with writing and creating."
