Helpful 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.

Art 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.

I enjoyed the sense of connection and… I enjoyed the sense of connection and community. I would have like more teaching from Andrea.

Attending Andrea’s retreat was a game changer! Attending Andrea’s retreat was an absolute game-changer for my songwriting journey! The serene setting, workshops, and collaborative atmosphere fostered creativity like never before. From daily sessions to afternoon co-writing and late-night jam sessions, every moment was pure magic. The attention to detail, from accommodations to meals, was impeccable. This retreat reignited my passion and provided invaluable tools for my craft. For anyone serious about songwriting, this retreat is for you!!

Confirming and Liberating Andrea provided a holistic retreat for every personality type and creativity level. I loved that the group was around 30 artists, allowing each individual to get what they needed from one another and the retreat organizers. The retreat felt like a 'family' rather than a typical conference/training. For me, the retreat confirmed some of my writing techniques, and the retreat was liberating in that it gave me the freedom to learn about the songwriting process in a safe, creative environment.
