GOOD GRIEF RETREATs
Facilitated by a diverse team of musicians and health PROFESSIONALS, Good Grief Retreats is A wellness-centric songwriting camp that grants artists the opportunity to turn inwards before creating outwards.
In a CONSTANTLY shifting , Fast-paced industry, our goal is to create a safe, reflective space where creatives can - not only do their best work - but remember why they started creating in the first place.
APPLICATIONS FOR 2025 are now closed
we believe that
Making great art is about being open to receiving and being fearless in sharing.
We have cultivated a space where creatives can still their minds, sink into nature and experience the presence to be themselves.
No Ego. No Limitations. Just art.
The Location:
