"As always a beautiful week of sharing, inspiration, learning, and growing. All the staff were so helpful and the teachers outstanding! You can’t beat the lake — fresh air, sunrise and sunset, loons, ever changing but always incredibly peaceful — 7 stars!"

From Teachers

"It’s a remarkable experience, a great value, and a wonderful group of people in a gorgeous setting. How terrific to give the arts center stage for a week!"

"It's a work of art unto itself — interdisciplinary and collaborative. Very rich and fulfilling...Amazing."

From an Artist in Residence

"I can't tell you how much that week meant to me. I know you've heard it from everyone by now, but truly, it was grand. The elevated atmosphere — always natural...the camaraderie...the meals on the deck (and the weather!)...AND — the writing! I made a major breakthrough during my time there, and I'm convinced it was because I gave it all over to Mind — how could I not, what with every morning beginning with testimonies of gratitude, sending us off to our respective venues with nourished hearts?"
