Whether you’re looking to build your confidence, try co-writing for the first time or simply spend some time making music with like-minded people, there’s a retreat for you to discover.
Pick your retreat, bring your songs, find your people.
Once you’ve identified the retreat you’d like to join us for, fill in the registration of interest and tell us a little about yourself, your songwriting and what you’d like to get from the retreat.
There is a registration stage because we sometimes run retreats that are best suited to particular locations, demographics, genres or creative goals. We’ll aim to make specific criteria clear on the retreat page, so you can register for the retreat that’s right for you.
We’ll then be in touch once we’ve had a chance to read your registration and hear a little more about you.

DEVELOPING MUSICIANS
CHORUS retreats are designed for women and gender-diverse songwriters, with a particular focus on developing musicians who want to grow their confidence, songwriting practice and creative networks.
ALL ABILITIES
You don’t need a music degree. You don’t need to read music. You don’t need to be brilliant at performing in front of people.
You just need to be curious, willing to collaborate and excited to make some music with other people.
FOR THE CURIOUS
Who are the retreats for?
Come with an open mind, a willingness to collaborate and a little patience for the creative process! Our retreats are designed to be friendly, supportive spaces where everyone gets the opportunity to contribute. You don’t need to be the loudest person in the room or have everything figured out - just come ready to make some music and meet some lovely people.
