As soon as I walked into Bend of Ivy Lodge, I knew our retreats had found a home. The beautiful simplicity of the Lodge, the care taken in the surrounding landscape, the right mindfulness that the space engenders--all of it so beautifully supports our retreats on living more intentionally and creatively. - Patti Digh, Author of Life is a Verb
