What’s included?

DAILY ACTIVITIES

In our workshops, you’ll have the chance to try some creative activities and make new connections, as well as explore the stunning local area.

There will also be free time to work on your artistic practice, or reconnect with yourself in nature after a busy summer season.

ACCOMODATION

Accommodation will be shared with fellow musicians in amazing luxury geodomes looking out over the sea. They have been lovingly furnished using natural and recycled materials. There are hot water showers, newly built compost toilets - just bring your own towel and natural soap products. We’re also near an awesome cafe and arts venue.

FOOD & DRINKS

A wholesome and simple vegetarian/vegan menu of three meals a day will be provided, and we can cater to most special diets if you let us know beforehand.

Hot and cold soft drinks are also available. You may like to bring your own snacks, but there is usually plenty of food!

Testimonials from our other Retreats

‘‘The campfire evenings are always so wholesome, the food was also outstanding, and the environment CHORUS creates just fosters the most excellent songwriting. With free time to reflect and sort through your own thoughts and reconnect with music, it’s just a dream.’’
- Beth, 2023

‘‘I’ve learnt a great deal. I think writing in a group in real time was a massive eye opener to me as I’ve never sat down with a group of writers and created something in the moment!’’
- Olivia, 2023

‘‘Honestly it was life changing, even just been at one with nature, no distractions, no phones or the outside world, just a beautiful welcoming group of people all loving music just as much as everyone else! It was magical.’’
- Izzie, 2023

‘‘Sharing the space for 3 days with a great group of women, having structure to the days but also a good bit of free time for chilling and changing. Loved the morning activities of going for a walk, incorporating in some singing elements to this too. Wonderful, absolutely living the dream!’’
- Josie, 2023
