Testimonials

Julie has the ability to make people of diverse backgrounds (Israel, New Zealand, Canada, Poland, Belize, England and the United States,) comfortable enough to share their writing with one another. That is a gift. Plus, she is a skilled writer of varied genres who is also a master storyteller. Most of all, Julie is a kind person who brings out the best in people and their writing.

Geralyn, Costa Rica 2023,

Wow! Thank you so much, Julie, for all you do. This week has definitely given me the inspiration I have been looking for. Aside from the writing workshops, the sense of community and togetherness has been so rewarding. I will see you again next year, for sure!

Susan, Costa Rica 2023

This week has been such a blessing – I cannot tell you how much it has meant to me. I’m already looking forward to next year.

Dana, Costa Rica 2023

So inspiring! I learned a ton! Julie is a wonderful instructor — very supportive, engaged, attentive, caring, willing to share her own experience, and very interested in helping you attain your own writing goals. I did the retreat with my 74 year-old father (he’s working on a memoir, I’m working on short fiction) and it was one of the richest experiences I’ve ever shared with him….The week-long workshop I took with Centauri has provided me with the tools to help me make my writing live, breathe and sing.
