"Anne Marie Santoro’s exciting Cherished Dream Retreats inspire participants regardless of experience or age to bring their Dreams to life – a memoir, a play, a children’s book, a poem, a novel, a mystery, a textbook, a screen play, a documentary, a biography, a musical, an animated DVD, etc. wherever our creative mind roams."

"I want to thank you for all the confidence and trust you have instilled in me.Your belief and support in my writing has propelled me to a place I have never known --a place of surety and sanity, of sure-footedness and free floating. Your capacity to inspire is unparalleled. Every writer who enters your space of knowledge, compassion, and empathy is blessed beyond this world."

SM Smith, Author Something's Burning in Here

"As someone who attended a weekend retreat, I can attest to the fact that it was the perfect balance of individualized attention, group interactivity, fascinating and well researched lessons on inspiring people and time allowance to wander on one's own for reflection and exploration. The natural setting, accommodations and food were of extremely high quality, while being most affordable. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has a burning story to share.

Ms. Santoro is a master in her field. Brava!"
