Testimonials
This writing retreat exceeded all my expectations by a thousandfold. Marusha provided us with the opportunity to savor a carefree, beautiful, and creative life that I personally yearn for amidst everyday routines. She paid meticulous attention to every detail, curating unforgettable experiences for us. The writing workshops were absolute gold. With the other participants (and we did not know each other before!), we shared intimate thoughts and bared our souls through Marusha's exercises and writing practices. We laughed, we cried, we felt gratitude, and we reconnected with our passions and deepest desires. It became a transformative journey to discovering our true selves. As a result, I am eagerly waiting to be a part of the next Girls Who Write retreat. Count me in!
Marina
Personal growth coach, Spain
This was my first journaling workshop and I didn't know what to expect. Marusha guided us and created a safe environment to express our thoughts through writing and offered the opportunity to share with others if we wanted to. The other people were so open to the experience and it was really therapeutic. After the retreat, I felt so much lighter and slept well. Even a week later, I am feeling much more peaceful and relaxed. This retreat has a lasting effect. I can't wait to attend another!
Leslie
IT executive, USA
I had an amazing, unforgettable experience in journaling retreat with Marusha. I am full of emotions and positivity and feel like many things have shifted for the better in my mind. Marusha is absolutely a must for someone who wants to start writing or develop their writing. She is a sparkling star in the universe and I am glad to find her. Feeling grateful!
Elena
Art collector, Greece
And as they say - when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Marusha became mine. My journaling guide. My mind was wandering a lot and anxiously, looking for one path vs another (corporate vs self employed; present mother va business woman; caring daughter vs devoted wife, etc etc). I trusted Masha and let myself believe that writing it down might help. I gave myself time and rights to explore this creativity and "therapeutic" writing. Many of my questions got answers, new connections were born, anxious inner voice turned out into a balanced (though sometimes still hesitant:) inner guide. I feel fear, but I do it anyway, writing scenario of the movie of my life, accepting all the pieces of puzzle (and not one vs another). Thank you Marusha for finding the Words, for books suggestions, for becoming That Very Guide that Student was looking for.
Vera
medical researcher, France/Spain
The retreat with Marusha was an experience of a lifetime. There is just something about her that makes you want to let go and be your true self. Without the stains of everyday life, it is especially easy. Surrounded by all the beauty, it flows and Marusha is there to guide you and put it into words. Not only have a rediscovered my creative side, I reconnected with my inner adventurer. I laughed, I cried, I ate delicious food and marvelled at the beauty around me and inside. The best adventure I have ever had. Wherever Masha has her next retreat - I am definitely there.
