My first solo trip out of the US came when I turned 50 and found this writing retreat. I was only slightly scared to travel alone. Having been to Costa Rica a decade before I found the country, very safe and inviting… I had fallen in love with the people, and I knew the crime was very low. I am literally more concerned for my safety in my own hometown of New Orleans than I am anywhere in this country. This year makes 4 years returning to this retreat. Every year I think it can’t be better than the last. Every year I can’t imagine meeting a friend as amazing as the friends I met the prior year, and every year I do. I am blown away by how much this retreat and Costa Rica…

Just finished a week long creative writing retreat in Costa Rica. It was my first retreat with Centauri.Julie was a wonderful teacher/ facilitator. It was well organized, and she thought of many details that made the week run smoothly. We had a lot of fun writing together in the mornings using different prompts and themes and then we spent the afternoons exploring the magical nature around Quepos or writing on our own. It was a great mix of solitude and meeting/ sharing our love of writing with the group.
I would definitely do this again and recommend it to others seeking inspiration and creative community.Emma J.February 2024
I have been very fortunate to spend a week on Centauri’s writing retreat in Costa Rica. Julie has been a fantastic tutor and all her workshops have added real value to my writing and technical skills. I learnt something every day and it was informative and inspiring and is the best retreat I have attended. I would highly recommend any retreat run by Julie who goes above and way beyond for all the writers not only in terms of writing but she is also a superb host. Thank you so much! Emma

I went to the Costa Rica location and it was my first writers retreat and it was an amazing and magical experience. The lodge is wonderful --clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Julie was so supportive and fun. As a VERY beginner writer I learned so much. The entire group had so much more experience in writing than I did so I was very insecure about sharing but was not forced to do so. I appreciated the compassion Julie and everyone at the retreat gave me. I highly recommend this retreat. You will not be disappointed.

Our daughter has immensely enjoyed the fine art and creative writing courses and camps with Centauri. It's a great program and they also have fantastic customer service! Highly recommend to anyone with children who'd like to explore their artistic interests.

I had a wonderful time at the Merida retreat. The retreat allows time for writing or exploring the city as desired, and I enjoyed that flexibility throughout the week. As for the writing workshop -- speaking as someone who has been writing for a while now -- I think Julie does the delicate job of making sure there's something in the workshop for everyone. I could recommend this to ALL writers. Of course, the highest recommendation is I hope to attend another of these in the future.
