In this immersive course, you’ll be guided through a series of innovative exercises, including musical and lyrical games, free-writing, and a connection with both self and nature. These exercises are grounded in intuition and improvisation, devoid of music theory prerequisites, welcoming participants of all musical backgrounds.

Whether you’re a seasoned musician or just starting your musical journey, you are invited to join this soulful experience. Together, we will generate abundant raw material, craft fresh songs, cultivate compelling first lines, captivating melodies, and engaging stories, all while drawing out the depths of emotion from within. Ideas will be nurtured around the ‘Songwriting Campfire,’ offering them the space, air, and warmth to flourish as you discover – or rediscover – your distinct voice.

Over the duration of the course, raw material will be generated, new songs may be formed, and compelling first-line and catchy melodies will be written, with engaging stories and emotion will be at the centre. Ideas will be shared around the “songwriting campfire”, allowing them the light, air and warmth they need to develop and grow as you discover, or re-discover, your unique voice.

During your retreat, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded songwriters, building friendships and sharing skills. These co-writing sessions are specifically designed to enhance your skills and foster creativity alongside other writers, artists, and producers. The retreat will provide a safe and welcoming space where we can gather around the fire to share stories and embrace our creative vulnerabilities.

Go deeper into your writing than you might have dared to before. This will allow you to find your artistic voice and emerge with a comprehensive tool-kit for crafting songs that are more impactful, authentic and memorable.
