Another wonderful, inspiring weekend at the Porches in the company of Dr. Cindy Cunningham and a group of lovely, like-minded souls. The weekend was the perfect mix of group sessions, solo writing time, editorial guidance, good food, excellent company and a bonus tarot reading! Cindy prepared a thoughtful series of writing prompts and provided supportive, thought-provoking feedback. I highly recommend a Porches retreat with Wellspring Writing Collective.

Tasty food, met nice folks, it was freezing cold outside but I was warm the entire trip. Oh, and we wrote things. Thank you!

I absolutely loved the serene retreat with Wellspring. Cindy if a gifted curator of insightful experiences designed to lift up writers of all sorts. We loved the beautiful house, the delicious, and the stimulating workshops - still with ample time to recharge and work on our writing individually. I’m always at my best at these retreats!

A Writer’s Retreat. I was there to work on my book. It seems that most of the people were writing whatever they wrote while they were there, but Cindy and her excepting attitude made it possible for everybody to do what they wanted even if it was different from the other people. I would’ve liked to participated with Cindy’s activities, but I had a goal in mind and I wanted to stick to it.

I got so much writing done at the retreat! Surrounded by the beautiful ocean view, a personal chef, fellow writers, and plenty of writing tables/rooms/nooks, I made tremendous progress toward completing my manuscript!
