"Escaping the demands of everyday life to awaken my creativity at Blue Rock was metamorphic. The muse seems to occupy [the place] – blowing through the live oak trees, scrolled in the meandering canyons ... She is on the library's shelves, in lively discussions over bountiful dinners, sings in the acoustics of the main hall. If you do one brave thing for yourself this year - apply to participate in Occupy Blue Rock. You will leave with more sunlight in your spirit than you knew it could contain." Gabrielle Louise
