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!!

The people made it great and the full… The people made it great and the full agenda kept us going and interested. A lot of information is packed into a well thought out agenda and the changes from last year are improvements in my opinion and last year was great too.

Experience was beyond phenomenal Experience was beyond phenomenal. Anyone who is on the fence (as I was) JUST GO!!! Andrea knows her stuff and Madison was super organized. Musical and friend connections for life…

NY Catskills (in person) Retreat At the NY Catskills Retreat, I found it to be incredible how quickly and gracefully Andrea created a sense of safety within our group of 31. We were mostly introverts, yet because of the container set, we were able to bring our artistic nature forward so we could work. And it was fun. :) Andrea is an intuitive, shrewd, kind, experienced leader. Given her years of experience deep in the craft of being a songwriter herself, she understands how to meet her mentees exactly where they are, and she knows how to elevate them/ their songs to the next level. The tools Andrea shares are practical for all levels of songwriting. At the live retreat, I found the variety of age, skillset, and genre to be interesting and conducive to creating outside of my norm. The live aspect was also an excellent way to gain understanding for co-writing in person. This was new for me. It turned out to be far more fun and do-able than I expected. Whether our partners played an instrument or were primarily a vocalist or lyricist, everyone was able to create a piece of music they could be proud of by the end of each day; everyone contributed, and many of us stretched outside of our comfort zones. I came home even more inspired, with more tools, and a solid group of songwriting comrades with whom I plan to continue co-writing and cheering on. Thank you Andrea, Madison and Myles! I look forward to next year’s retreat.
