Quotes from Previous Attendees:

"Thank you for opening up yourself Luka and your village and your genealogy and culture. My writing practice and my life is much richer for this experience and I am eternally gratefully for you brother!"

-Zech, New Zealand.

"I loved the authentic experience the retreat offered. It was wonderful to be away from urban life and tourist traps. The week was a blissful mixture of both rigorous writing and relaxation. I enjoyed being disciplined every day and writing at every turn and vista we were offered. This in turn gave me the intimacy I needed with Rhodes and my company of poets. It really felt like a 'retreat' and I hope it remains so."

-Despina, Melbourne & Samos.

"Luka's easygoing personality combined with his poetic expertise made the workshops really enjoyable and creative. I have never written poetry outdoors in special places before, and discovered I loved getting away from my computer and going old school with pen and paper.

I felt really relaxed, recovered from the rigours of my Turkey trip, and wrote some great poetry."

-Lou, Sydney
