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.

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

No joke, this is the one. Exceptional experience. Andrea has a particular gift for creating an open and expansive space for writers to delve into what makes them authentic artists. This retreat met and exceeded my (somewhat lofty) expectations, and if it sounds even remotely like something you might be interested in, you should sign up. So fun, so enlightening. Exactly what I was looking for, and a heavy dose of clarity around what I didn't know I was looking for. I will be back!

What 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.

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.
