Words will never describe how wonderful this weekend was…
so much to learn, so much to share, so much to enjoy.

I have been to many workshops over the last 25 years, but I would consider Willow Pond SLO workshops as one of the best retreat workshops I’ve been to. The hosts are personable and see to your every need and the food is absolutely amazing. I would love to come back if they would have me!! - Terry

My time at Willow Pond SLO exceeded all my expectations. I am learning, feeling nourished, relaxed, fullilled and inspired. I will be counting down the days until I return. Just simply magical.

The best place to take an art workshop in America. Incredible studio, premises, food and proprietors.

The beautiful property, the generosity and personable and welcoming hosts really elevated the workshop experience. I appreciated that there was an on-site Chef preparing meals to be enjoyed together and that the experience extended beyond the 4.30pm studio time.

When I saw a workshop about painting in Edna Valley (wine country) I thought “perfect!” The teachers were pros, and I had a fun time with our group. Lots of laughs, camaraderie all the while working and learning.

This is a lovely place to commune with nature. Everything was exceptional and also peaceful. We had so much space to spread out in the studio and create. Our hosts made us feel so welcome and I loved the workshop. The Chef that Carol chose pampered us and made delicious food. Thank you for a superior retreat.

I came with no expectations and now I worry I’ll set too high a bar for my next workshop. The space, the teacher, the chef, the hosts….above perfection.
