The Jewish Songwriting Cooperative Retreat is a 4-day songwriting retreat that focuses on composing Jewish music. You will have an opportunity to have quiet writing time, collaborate with other songwriters, record, and engage in workshops in a supportive, non-competitive environment. There will be multiple opportunities to share your music during song swaps, tefillah, open stages, etc. There are opportunities for teaching as well. This retreat is different from other Jewish music retreats in that it is not faculty-driven, but rather a cooperative where we can support and encourage each other in our creative efforts.
