Andrea Stolpe California Songwriting Retreat July 2026 Absolutely Wonderful Experience !!! Incredible amount of essential information on how to enhance songwriting encompassing music, lyrics, production and creative teamwork. Fun interfacing with a great group of friendly people. Andrea's special in depth reviews of songs by attendees were enlightening and most helpful. Jan Stolpe provided a wealth of valuable information and clarity in regards to production. Daily, diversified small groups were assigned to create new songs in an afternoon, performing live each evening. Erin Workman visited with lots of essential solid information regarding publishing, A & R,vocals, artist development, education and performing. Daily hikes, Yoga, meals, wonderful weather, fine accommodations, and late evening jams kept everyone busy. Honestly, at the week's end I was tired from long days, After driving home, I briefly reflected, wishing the Retreat was still going. I wanting to immediately return for another week. I really enjoyed meeting so many talented people who inspired and taught me. Bless you all. May our paths cross again. Get Musically Charged, Invigorated and Energized. Attend an Andrea Stolpe Retreat !!! HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS !!! Enthusiastically Submitted, Steve Garvey

The whole experience was very intimate, secure, and facilitating creativity through song and community.

The skills and tools that were shared are invaluable! The methods helped me with years of hitting a creative wall when dealing with lyric writing. Andrea is an elite professional. So kind and encouraging. The best retreat I've ever attended.

Andrea and her team managed to pull together folks from all over North America (oh yeah, there was a Brit there too) who seemed to have only songwriting in common. Andrea's instruction, exercises, and collaboration opportunities raised each of our abilities to another level. By week's end I realized Andrea Stolpe and her team selected deep, sensitive souls whose egos were in check and who were open enough to experience the gifts we'd be given that week. The location was inspiring and reflective, and the cuisine exceptional. The experience was beyond my wildest dreams and I can't wait to head to her next retreat! Thank you Andrea and Madison!

Andrea's retreat was a gamechanger and definitely pushed me to elevate my craft. My mind was opened so much by just relaxing and letting the songs flow into consciousness. Andrea's method is so inviting and gives space for the vibes, the music, the lyric to be held. I would recommend her retreats to anyone wanting to hone their songwriting and interpersonal skills.

The Andrea Stolpe experience was amazing!! The classes, co-writes, the guest speaker, the food, her team - absolutely the best!! I'd rate this week six stars (out of five) if I could.

The entire experience was very intimate, safe, and facilitating creativity through song and community.
