First Level Songwriting Retreat: CANCELLED

First Level Songwriting Retreat provides a comprehensive framework to kickstart your songwriting: physically by collaborating, quick fire exercises and one on one mentoring, socially by sharing your work, hearing what others are writing both informally and in session, and mentally by detailed sessions covering both songwriting technique and mindsets that help. It's a great place to start.

Accommodation for a maximum of nine participants, plus all meals are included in your fee. Catering is prepared on site from fresh seasonal homegrown ingredients. There is good coffee! Please let us know any special dietary requirements when you book.

'Direct presentation. Comfortable, safe, energising, motivating. Felt like the 'right' amount of people. Meals and dietary considerations excellent - great variety and content.' - Tracey Haskell
