OUR SPRING 2019 WOMEN ROCK RETREAT IS SOLD OUT!!
Looking to try a little something new?
How about something bold, brave, and certifiably bada**? April 5-7, 2019 Escape on a two-day music retreat (no previous musical experience required) to form a band and form a totally new idea about what you're capable of. All proceeds support Girls Rock, an organization devoted to building the next generation of bold, brave women and helping them find their voice. This three day adventure brings women from all walks of life and all levels of musical experience together (we love newbies!).
The retreat is in the greater Charlotte area. It begins on a Friday afternoon (late afternoon / after work) and wraps up Sunday evening with a little concert for friends and family! |
|
In one weekend, you will get easy instrument instruction, form a band with the gals, write an original song together and debut your inner rockstar at a concert (the next weekend) for friends and family! But wait...there's more!! Wake up to gentle morning yoga, laugh and learn in empowering workshops, get your DIY on, and enjoy some yummy eats!
And you get all this fun and power for a good cause - the Girls Rock Charlotte Teen and Kids Summer Camp Scholarship Fund!
Spend the weekend at in the cozy camp homes (or head back home at the end of the night!), laugh by the fire pit outside, raise a glass with the sunset, and wake to a cup of coffee with the gals. All this while rockin' it out!
No musical experience preferred! We provide the instruments and all the woman power vibes you will need to rock!!!

What does the tuition include?
The retreat tuition includes a 2 night stay at a legit summer camp location (you get to be a kid again!). Two 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 an intensive 2.5 day commitment, plus a late afternoon rehearsal and evening concert that Sunday evening. Please see the sample schedule below.
Attendees are welcome to stay at the retreat home, or can plan to return home by 10:00 pm in the evenings.
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 your tribe 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 (FYI...you can always go home for the night, too)
Located just a few miles out of uptown Charlotte, we will retreat to a real camp locale - the Girl Scouts POD Village (we have it all to ourselves!). There are 4 large PODS (funky cabins really) for folks to practice, hang and crash. Let's do this real camp style; bring an inflatable mattress, some blankets, towels and your cozy sweats. There are multiple pods - where one will be designated the "quiet" for those early to bed, while the other will be for night time fun (with lights out by midnight-ish). The Village has under a tree canopy with a cool fire pit and more! Weather permitting, folks can gather outside or enjoy a glass by the fire. And we will still love you (and completely understand!) if you decide to head home at the end of the night. It is centrally located so easy to get home quick. |
