"Having offered contemplative photography and The Art of Impermanence Retreats at Casa Werma for a number of years, along with Melinda Rothhouse, a gifted student of Buddhism and a superb creative facilitator and teacher, these retreats seem to get better and better as they bring both teachers, participants, and staff deeper and deeper into their own wisdom.  Retreats at Casa Werma are safe, joyful, scintillating and intimate, as we all take deep dives into our unfettered creativity and joy.  Teachers support participants, and participants support teachers and one another, all the while being nurtured round the clock by the open-hearted and skilled managers and staff of Casa Werma. One learns and deepens with the first steps through the gates of Casa Werma, opening to beauty, self-worth, and deep appreciation of this world and its inhabitants.”
