A first rate writing experience in the Basque country.
Pyrenean Writing Retreats的点评
点评：Pyrenean Creative Writing Women's Retreat July 31-Aug 9
My 10-day experience at the retreat was first-rate.
I had attended 3 prior US retreats with Diana. To me, she was worth going to Spain for! Consistent with those previous experiences and by her own example, she established an atmosphere conducive to creativity. Her patience and acceptance set the tone for the overall experience.
I arrived with the objective of grunt-work editing two drafts. I didn’t even look at the drafts. Instead – surprise - I wrote completely new material! Not in the original plan, but better than my stated objectives.
Attendance at the craft sessions was completely voluntary. In addition to presenting well-planned instruction with handouts and examples, Diana also made herself available to review and give feedback on pieces we were working on. I came away better-informed and eager to keep writing.
The location itself fostered creativity. A centuries old farmhouse in the Basque region – complete with all manner of barnyard animals – was a peaceful, distraction-free, environment. The rooms, each with its own bathroom, were clean and comfortable. There were plenty of places to sit and think and write.
The food was delicious. We liked the chef and felt like she was part of the group. She crafted dishes to both please our palates and accommodate dietary restrictions. She presented the dinner meals by telling us the names of the dishes and the ingredients. The food was locally-sourced and we enjoyed many fresh fruits and vegetables. There were also cheeses made by the owner of the farm and local wines. All very tasty.
And, of course, the writing companions. On the first day, one of the attendees ruled “no judgment,” and that became the guiding spirit for all 10 days. There were eight of us from various regions in the US representing multiple genres – drama, novels, short stories, memoir, personal essay and so forth. We formed friendships and created voluntary opportunities to share our work with one another.
Would I do it again? You bet!

翻译：比利牛斯山女性创意写作静修营：7月31日至8月9日
我在这次静修营中度过的10天体验堪称一流。
此前我曾与戴安娜一起参加过三次美国的类似静修活动。对我而言，为了能跟随她，就算去西班牙也值得！与以往的经历一样，她以自己的榜样力量营造出了有利于创意生成的氛围。她的耐心与包容为整个体验定下了基调。
我此行的目的是对两份草稿进行基础的编辑工作。但实际上，我连那些草稿都没看一眼。相反——令人惊讶的是——我创作了全新的内容！这虽不在原计划之中，但却比我原先设定的目标还要好。
参加手工课程完全是自愿的。戴安娜不仅给出了经过精心策划的指导，还提供了讲义与范例；同时她也乐意审阅我们创作的作品并给予反馈。这次经历让我收获颇丰，也更加渴望继续写作。
那个场所本身就能激发创造力。这座位于巴斯克地区的农舍已有数百年历史，院子里养着各种各样的牲畜，环境宁静宜人，毫无烦扰。每间客房都配有独立的浴室，干净又舒适。这里还有许多可以坐下来思考与写作的好地方。
食物美味可口。我们很喜欢那位厨师，感觉她就像是团队中的一员。她精心烹制菜肴，既满足了我们的味蕾，又兼顾了各种饮食禁忌。她向我们介绍晚餐的菜品，讲述了每道菜的名字和所用食材。食物均采自当地，我们品尝到了许多新鲜的水果和蔬菜。此外还有农场主亲自制作的奶酪以及当地的葡萄酒。所有食物都十分美味。
当然，还有那些写作伙伴们。第一天，有位参与者提出了“不评判”这一原则，它也成为了整整10天里我们共同遵守的准则。我们共有八人，来自美国各地，代表着多种文学类型——戏剧、长篇小说、短篇故事、回忆录、散文等等。我们结为好友，还自发创造机会来互相分享作品。
我会再参加吗？当然会！
