We are thrilled to announce that we will be running TWO retreats again in 2024!
NESR 8A: Fri Aug 23 - Tue Aug 27 (2024)
NESR 8B: Fri Aug 30 - Tue Sep 3 (2024) — Labor Day weekend
Each year, my partner Laurie MacAllister and I gather a collection of our favorite master songwriters in Chester, CT to work with 100 students who want to take a deep dive into the heart of their craft. It’s an intense, joyful, cathartic experience, that leaves everyone who enters a better artist, including the Instructors! Everyone leaves the weekend inspired and energized, with new songs, new ideas, and new lifelong friendships.
We are putting together a truly STELLAR lineup of Instructors for NESR 8, which will be announced soon.
There are engaging classes, student concerts, one-on-one meetings, song circles, and a vibrant community that will embrace the best version of your artistic self.
Our home for the weekend is in Chester CT, at Guest House Retreat and Conference Center, an historic inn. The accommodations are quaint and cozy, with a B&B vibe. OR you can commute from your CT home or a nearby hotel. The food is delicious, with plenty of healthy vegetarian options. Late summer/early fall is a perfect time to be in New England!
What better gift could you give the songwriter/artist in you?
