I’m thrilled to say that now going on the 4th year, I have many returning retreat attendees as well as new participants. Over the years, I have answered many questions regarding these retreats and I’ve also made a few discoveries from my frequent visits to Lareau Farm Inn and Vermont in general, so I decided to compile them into this handy list of answers, secrets and revelations.
If you’re on the fence about registering for a retreat, hop on over that pesky thing and join us!

If you are stuck or need prodding like I did when the events in this story took place, it might help nudge you out of your rut. I have shared this story in bits in pieces, but never in full. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I did in recalling and writing it.

This new pink was daring for me and it was exactly what the piece needed to finish it off.
