There will be a performance by participants on Sunday afternoon (your friends and family are welcome). There will be a special session on Production after the performances and dinner on Sunday and the program will officially end on Sunday night, with check-out the following morning by 10am.

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is suitable for beginner – advanced songwriters. We will have specific sessions for those interested in more of the fundamentals vs. more advanced work. There will be break-out groups to manage varying levels of skill as far as course content and everyone will have one-on-one time with Ian via a posted schedule.

Singing/playing instruments is not mandatory (nor is performing, though it is encouraged!). This is a very interactive, laid-back atmosphere where fundamentals are covered/reinforced while creativity flourishes. Read some our reviews to understand what attendees have to say about their experience with us.
