The Retreat
Join renowned multi-platinum songwriter Andrea Stolpe on a life-changing retreat. Over the course of 5 days near the beautiful surroundings of Music City, USA you’ll collaborate with a group of exceptional songwriters and industry experts.
Prepare to pursue your passion like never before.
What To Expect
Grounded in my methodology, we’ll work on sharpening your instincts, expanding your toolset, and bringing new clarity and intention to your songs.
Throughout the week, you’ll take part in daily masterclasses, small-group feedback sessions, a guest seminar with an esteemed industry professional, and morning yoga. You'll dive into daily co-writing sessions, where I personally pair you with fellow writers based on complementary strengths and musical styles, and gather by the fire at night to swap stories and share new songs.
You'll leave the retreat with three finished co-writes, a powerful framework to guide your writing life, and a close creative family to carry that momentum forward.

WHO IT’S FOR

I'd love to have you there.
