GBWhat a life changing experience What a life changing experience! I went into the retreat with some hesitation; was I good enough to keep up? Could I co-write with high level musicians and song writers? Andrea just has a way about her that facilitates learning, community, and positivity. After the experience I learned that I can more than keep up; I can hold my own. In 4 days I felt like all 31 participants were new found family members, and there were more than a few tears shed on the last day. Thanks Andrea and Madison for all that you do to support artists hone their craft.

GBArt is Work. To Sell it is Art. I can't think of a better way to begin or give a boost to your creativity. Andrea is a great communicator. Even so, there's no magic wand that will make you write better songs, but you'll learn how to write songs better. And unless you're a genius like your mama told you, you need to understand the rules of writing songs that stand a chance of being shared.

GBWhat an amazing week What an amazing week! Andrea has such a wonderful way of demystifying the songwriting process and freeing artists to use practical and tangible tools in order to tap into the magic within. I walked away with new friends, and a new fire to explore my own process as a songwriter.

GBAn overwhelming success This week was an overwhelming success - emotionally, socially, and in the development of new skills. From the choice of venue, to the meals, to the approachability of team, to the amount of information that was imparted, everything met or exceeded my expectations.

GBHelpful on Many Levels I appreciated the practical tips Andrea provided to help me bust out of my writer's block and to help me revise/improve my songs. She gave me a lot of tools to think about and use. Andrea also built an exceptional community of songwriters with varying skills, strengths, and talents. The people were open-minded, collaborative, and super supportive. As a result, the songs created at the retreat were amazing.
