Pat & Catherine 7/10/2008	We had a GREAT time at the Full Circle last week! Thank you so much for providing such a creative, warm, and inviting space. We both LOVE your place. I know we'll both be back.
Cheryl 5/8/2007	Thank you Kathleen for creating Full Circle Retreat to be the warm, inviting, creative catalyst that it is...allowing us to open, explore, create and discover ourSelves and learn more about our "selves" too. Thank you for putting all of you into Full Circle...you are a blessing.
Dustyn 6/18/2007	By the end of the weekend I realized more about me and my life than I ever imagined I would. I don’t quite know how to express it in writing but I entered a place in my mind where I felt completely relaxed and open and I haven’t felt like that since I was in college. I have been to Full Circle Retreat before and this time was especially touching for me. You do have a great place there!
Kathryn 9/17/2007	I wanted to thank you for an awesome SoulCollage® experience. I didn't quite know what to expect. I was expecting it to be good, but what I got was spectacular. I feel like a whole new door is opening and that I've expanded three fold already! Incredible! I've looked over my cards again and again since I got home and I LOVE them! I love holding them and gazing at them and I feel more tender toward myself and everyone.
Paula 8/15/2008	It was wonderful to be at Full Circle Retreat to be re-introduced to oil painting by such an excellent instructor. Her feedback was so well-done that the useful pointers inspired and encouraged one to go a little deeper into the process. And, to be able to work and stay in the same beautiful place was wonderful. You have created a very restorative environment on so many levels. A much admirable accomplishment from which I am sure many others will benefit. I enjoyed the conversation--delightful!
Janie 8/4/2008	I had a great experience last week. You and your little farmhouse were a delight and a pleasure! I will gladly be referring everybody I can. I'll also be adding pix and stories to my blog soon - so, stay tuned. I have really been in a creative frenzy since returning.
Liz 6/28/2008	Thank you so much for a great workshop. Every year I learn a little more, and am grateful that you work so hard to stage such wonderful retreats.
