Every moment of life is improvised, no matter how much we plan or practice. When applied to Music, this perspective can expand our range of creative potential.
Creative Exploration
We’ll explore and build our musical creativity through improvisation, collective song-building techniques, deep listening practices, musical breathwork, and more.
Who's this for?
For this retreat you don’t have to be a seasoned musician or well-versed in music theory, but it’s helpful to be reasonably familiar with either your voice, a drum, or a melodic instrument of your choice. We’ll certainly go beyond our musical comfort zones and try new things to develop our expression, however this is not necessarily a time to begin learning altogether.
Bring it to Life
We’ll each have the option to lead the development of a new song supported, inspired, and co-created by the group throughout the week. By the end of the retreat, we’ll record and/or perform them at our intimate jungle show on the final evening.
Bring your instruments!
