" I can't describe my time at Starry Night Retreat as anything less than than one of the most rewarding relaxing inspiring and prolific periods in my life. Not only was my creativity embraced and infused exponentially, but the experience of living in and enjoying a town so unique and charming as Truth or Consequences allowed me to focus and work without any reservation.
