I went into this retreat with the mindset that it would improve my songwriting capabilities and help me get over some writers block. But I came out with more than I could have ever imagined. As a collective, the other artists and I bonded through our passions for songwriting and music. But what amazed me most was how creating in that environment affected me. Through song, we were able to communicate and express vulnerability, allowing us to connect on such deep levels. This brought me confidence and encouraged me to share more and more of my music. I was originally worried about taking the 5 days off to travel to Nashville, but now I know the skills and connections that I gained during that week will last me forever. As someone who has done lots of songwriting camps and classes, I can say with absolute certainty that this is so so so worth it.

Well-designed and executed week-long retreat on the craft of songwriting by one of the music industry's accomplished songwriters and educators. Hands on, fully immersed experience brought my skills to levels I never dreamed possible. The most effective musical learning experience I have ever participated in and Andrea Stolpe's nurturing communication style made it all the more enjoyable. She is a gem, chock full of knowledge and highly skilled at transferring it all to her students.

Great retreat! Really meaningful experience meeting and working with writers from all over the world. Andrea is a masterful songwriter and teacher. Highly recommend it!

My experience at the retreat dramatically exceeded expectations. Andrea guided us in a comforting, clear and pragmatic way. She engaged us, directed us and showed us the infinite possibilities we can encounter along this path. Everything I’d hoped for, plus … the other songwriters she invited created an almost immediate creative and personal bond. As I guy who typically writes in a vacuum, this entirely unexpected and wondrous. I felt my heart grow two sizes. New friends for life. If you’re thinking about attending, just say « yes. »

A truly amazing experience. Andrea and the team do an exceptional job at creating a safe, supportive and playful creative environment. The discussions had, songwriting tools shared, cowriting opportunities and connections made are invaluable. Thank you!

Andrea is a true master of the songwriting craft, and she’s also inspiring, genuine, and really just a cool person! I can’t give this retreat enough stars. I look forward to using what I’ve learned from Andrea, and I’m excited that I met so many awesome folks to be a part of my songwriting community/support group!

It's a great retreat for those that want to develop both skills and community. It was the perfect thing for me and I feel fortunate that I was able to attend.

one hundred stars!! Andrea is such a powerful educator. she has an immeasurably valuable ability to meet you where you are, no matter where you are coming from. i am a person who craves an unvarnished truth, and i love how specific and helpful her insights are. the openness, the curiosity, the kind nurturing, the tools, the craft, it’s a tremendous experience. i am so much more confident as a writer now! i am much more tuned to my instincts and my tools. i am beyond thrilled with the entire experience!
