This retreat focuses on songwriting, not performance. We aim to create an environment where every songwriter will open themselves up to sharing what they are working on. Although some retreaters are working singer-songwriters who perform regularly out in the world and are comfortable doing so, we also have folks who are new to the experience and excited to grow. It really does come down to the actual songwriting, not the performance. This retreat strives to be a safe, nurturing and enjoyable experience where competition disappears. We focus on growing as songwriters while being supportive to others, wherever they are on their songwriting journey.

We recommend a notebook for lyrics, a notebook for writing other thoughts (it can be the same notebook if you want), your lucky pen, and a simple recording device for ideas such as a cell phone, iPad or laptop.

Yes!! You will have an opportunity for a private one-on-one song consultation with the artist of your choice. 

This is a retreat, not a boot camp! When something matters to us, we reveal it in our own time. The challenge is to find the words we want to say or the practice that feels like the right fit.
