Who can attend the Women's Rock Retreat?
Anyone 21 years and older who identifies as a woman, trans woman/feminine and/or gender nonconforming. No musical experience required and we provide all the instruments needed! How much is the registration for the retreat? Minimum registration is $250 (with various promos available!) and is on a sliding scale honor system of what you are able to donate to our little rockin non-profit. Your registration goes toward covering event costs with the remainder as a tax deductible donation toward our growing organization youth! Participants may hold their spot with a $100 deposit with final payment due later. Deposits are non-refundable 30 days prior to event, but can be applied to the next retreat. |

What does the tuition include?
The retreat tuition includes a 3 full days of rockstar fun! Like a legit summer camp weekend but you get to go home to your own, cozy bed. Dinners, breakfasts and lunches and yummies are included. You will enjoy 7+ hours of music instruction! Music instruments for the retreat and the concert for your family and friends are included. Our retreat also features a variety of fun, informative and empowering workshops! It's a GREAT DEAL!! And did we mention...it's for a good cause? |
What is the time commitment for the retreat?
The retreat is 2.5 day commitment, plus a late afternoon rehearsal and evening concert that Sunday evening. Please see the sample schedule below.
Full participation is strongly recommended. Any missed time may inhibit the progress of your band...and you don't want to miss out on any of the fun!
I've never played an instrument before...and I'm "just a mom" or "just a banker"? Is this really for me?
You're JUST AWESOME and with the small group (4:1 student to musician) instrument instruction, inspiring women around you and the laughs and love your band, you can JUST DO ANYTHING! This is about taking time for yourself. Meeting a group of inspiring women. Breaking out of your comfort soon. Learning something new - seeing yourself and letting others see in a powerful, new light! This isn't about rockin' music (though that will happen, too)...this is about rockin' your power!
What if I'm not good at playing an instrument or writing a song?
Then you will LOVE this! This is about having fun. This is a safe, non-competitive and supportive space. We celebrate all differences, identities and abilities! You will be surrounded by cool folks like you, and rockin' out before loving friends and family. It's not about how good you sound. It's about how good you will feel!

Tell me about the retreat location = Rock on 22nd
An entire home full of GRRL and WOMYN power!!! Rock on 22nd is a beautiful old home and the HQ for Girls Rock Charlotte and Pachyderm Music Lab.
