When does the retreat start and finish?
The first session is at 4 pm on 24 February 2025. The retreat finishes on the morning of 3 March. Do I have to share a bedroom? No. To support your creative process, you will have your own air-conditioned bedroom. Can you tell me a bit more about our accommodation? The retreat is based in the charmingly rustic An Villa Resort. Ideally located between town and beach, this small, eco-friendly resort lies an 10-minute drive from the ancient town of Hoi An, while the beach lies a five-minute drive away. Do I need to be an experienced songwriter? Not at all. Whether you're an experienced musician or someone who's brand new to the craft, Jane's sessions will have you writing lyrics with greater authenticity and quality, and Jan's afternoon class will expand your performance skillset and confidence. How do I know if this retreat is for me? If you want to write more and better songs or perhaps even write your first song, this retreat will give you the space, time and support to do exactly that. How is the retreat structured? Each morning features a songwriting workshop with Jane, followed by a singing and performance skills workshop with Jan and Pam. Is there much free time? Giving yourself time-out from writing is as important a part of the creative process as the songwriting itself. Because of this, the retreat program includes free afternoons to allow you to explore, create and rest. You'll also get one whole day off in the middle of the retreat. What about meals? Breakfast is included in the retreat fee. The property has one of the most authentic cafes in the area, and it's likely you'll eat most of your meals there. However, several cafes are located nearby. Will I be left to my own devices outside of class times? Only if you want to be. Some nights, you'll be invited to join Jane, Jan and Pam for a cheap, early dinner. How much is the retreat? $2595, which includes all workshops, accommodation, breakfasts and your own air-conditioned bedroom. How do I book? This retre[email protected]at is now full.
