Charlotte Bell, Facebook, June 2024 "Go through this step by step guide and make your dream become a reality! Kota USA, Feb 2024 Very supportively written, with real life honesty. Rachel covers all aspects of running a retreat that will save anyone following in her footsteps a lot of time. Her willingness to follow her creative self will inspire. Jo UK, April 2023 Absolutely loved! She is articulate and clear but goes beyond giving you motivation tips. It's hard to move forward alone. You don't know how to put ideas into action. This book shows you a practical way to do that. Well written and enjoyable. Teco USA, Feb 2024
