This retreat was perfect! Our teacher was knowledgeable and patient. We all had different projects and she moved from one to another giving help where needed. Mandy, our hostess served us delicious breakfast and lunch each day on a beautifully set table. My room made me feel like a princess! Although the entire house is gorgeous you can feel that it is a home, and you are welcome there. I would do this retreat again in a heartbeat!
