November 19 - 22, 2026
A four-day residential retreat with Sarina Partridge, Karla Mundy, and Erinn Doncaster. We’ll learn and play with the art of song-catching, and practice writing songs and “songlets” that speak to the times and to the things that matter most to us. We’ll explore the blocks that hold us back from singing out (literally and metaphorically), and acquire concrete, nervous system based tools to move through to the other side. And - of course! - there will be plenty of joyful group singing to feed our souls as we lean into this deep, powerful, beautiful work together.
