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!

What does the tuition include?
The retreat tuition includes a 2 night stay at a large, beautiful lake home. Each attendee will get their own bed, and there are plenty of restrooms. 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 are also 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 lake retreat home.
Located on Lake Wylie (just off South Tryon near The Palisades...about 30 mins from Uptown Charlotte) this is a very large, pet free, smoke free home. This is a beautiful, big lake house with numerous bedrooms and bathrooms. Each attendee will have their own bed. Some rooms have double beds while others have double-sized bunks, etc.. There are two homes adjoining - where one will be designated the "quiet" home for those early to bed, while the larger home will be for night time fun (with lights out by midnight-ish). The home is right on the lake with a large, wraparound porch, a fire pit and beautiful dock. Weather permitting, folks can gather outside or enjoy the views from the large living room by the fire. |
