Here's What Some Of Our Workshop Participants Have Said...

“Be prepared to be amazed at every turn!”
— Becky Owens, USA
“I wrote more creative work during these 10 days than I did over the past 2 years, enjoyed it more, and produced better output. And I finally managed to get the first chapter of a book that has been on my mind down on paper.”
— Larry Osborne, USA
“If you get the opportunity, grab it with both hands! A wonderful mix of writing, spirituality & fun.”
— Di Perry, UK
“I fell in love with Nepal, the people, and the beautiful smiles accompanying the most beautiful greeting in the world: “Namaste”. I fell in love with walking the Kora at Bouddhanath at dawn. Bless me, I think I’ve even fallen in love with writing.”
— Michael Gerald-Yamasaki, USA
“Highly recommended for people who aspire to be writers, and writers who wish to hone and develop their skills. I loved it!”

“The spiritual aspect, especially the meditation, took the course to a different dimension.”

An enchanting journey of self-discovery and cultural immersion, and an incredible way to explore the colorful chaos of Nepal and the Kathmandu Valley. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough.
