Testimonials from guests who experienced retreat facilitation:

Just a note to convey my very deep appreciation for my entire retreat experience. You gave me just what I needed to begin a more reflective and meaningful exchange with the world. Our facilitation sessions and the energy work, solidified some feelings that have been bubbling up inside me and I now feel the confidence I have been looking for for a long time. I am amazed that I was able to come so far in just a little time!” Karen

“Thank you, Jennifer, for your wonderful insights. …. Your processing with me was just so helpful and beneficial. Thank you for creating such a sacred space. Every room offers a special invitation to go deeper, to seek peace and illumination… I shared your brochure with my quilting friends and encouraged them all to consider giving themselves the gift of time at Creative Explorations. I will hold this experience in my heart and will look forward to returning to this oasis.” Barb

“I am a very logical, non-artist type person so I wondered how well I would relate to this experience. I was a little worried that the guided exploration would be like a therapy session, but I was the one who controlled where we went. Jennifer very much respected my rather large boundaries. The experience was wonderful, the setting perfect for a personal retreat, and the guided experiences helped provide the structure I wanted.”                                                                      Cathy

“What a pleasure it was to meet you! You have to be one of the most comfortable people to be with, almost like an instant friend whom I have known all of my life! You made me feel so comfortable, you managed to listen without any judgment, you lead and inspire in such a gentle way, and let me make my own conclusions based on my own work… I can tell you have years of practice, experience in being supportive, gentle and your insights are marvelous.

…You have made the physical surroundings as wonderful as possible with color, design, and decor.

I totally recommend to folks to take the two night package if at all possible. ….One night is grand, but two nights allows a person to really get immersed inthe process and really delve deeply into being creative, leaving the world behind so that the creative exploring can really take place. And last, the energy session was remarkable. I have never had anything so cathartic in my life! I have had massage, and reflexology sessions which are pretty wonderful, but this was a time to really let go of some stuff, and embrace the new directions you and I had discovered for my path.

… I feel like I have direction, a path to follow and to work toward, and a peace of mind.

Yellow Springs is a magical place, to be sure. You have chosen wisely for this retreat environment.” Deborah

“I’ll be back! And I’m thinking of paying it forward by gifting a girlfriend of mine…”

“Thank you for such an amazing experience this weekend! Every minute was new and exciting! Thank you for helping me discover my own creativity and pull insight from within that I never knew I had! : – ) I will never be the same after these short, but deeply profound days that have put me on my path to self-discovery.”                       Lisa

Testimonials from guests who experienced a self-directed retreat:

“You have a generous heart, which is evident in every room and the smallest of detail here. It was such a delight to return to this peaceful oasis – and right in the middle of town! I’m positive the good vibes of every woman who passes through Creative Explorations will continue to fill this home with peace and joy.”
Judith

“I feel as if I’ve walked into this painting, ie., have become an ‘object of art’ within this still life. You’ve created an oasis of calm, yet colorful awakenings of spunk! I love your color choices, soothing cremes, juicy apricots, earthy greens and sea blues! Thank you for creating Creative Explorations and allowing me to partake of its magic!”
Susan

“This very special, very beautiful space you have created will always live in my memory. This is a space conceived with love. It is obvious that the healer and artist in you worked together! It’s reflected in every detail from the walls that feel like warm air, the soothing colors and all the touches of beauty seen everywhere…  It soothes and invites the creative spirit to awaken to expression in music, sketching and writing… Thank you for all the love and effort it took to make your dream of a retreat a reality for me and all who discover this!”
