​Why: Simply put, you are worth it. A week of mindful movement taught by top-notch instructors, delicious food, and community is an investment in yourself, yes — but the returns are exponential and extend well beyond our time together. Past Retreat participants have noted that by "taking an Intermission" for one week each year, they've kickstarted healthy daily routines, improved their playing through increased bodily awareness, managed performance anxiety through breath-work and by cultivating supportive relationships with other open-hearted musicians... and even improved their golf swings! Whatever your intentions or goals, making time and space to refill your tank will only enhance your musical experiences.
