I went on two. One I enjoyed and one I didn't. What I enjoyed was having food prepared for us, and sometimes it wasn't the greatest. I also enjoyed sharing a room with just one other person and we shared a bathroom. What I did not enjoy was sharing a room with 5 other women (one crabby) and two bathrooms for about 20 women. We had to find our own places to eat and of course the only places were either 25 miles away or Hardees. It is a 1000% better if you go with friends, I didn't enjoy being alone with women who were in groups. I prefer retreats where you can make your own quilts and just enjoy sewing to your hearts content. I will not go on any retreats again unless I know sleeping situations and go with friends.
