This retreat is Friday, July 24th from 6pm-9pm and Saturday, July 25th from 9am-4pm. Calling all songwriters and wordsmiths from beginner and beyond to our Knoxville songwriting retreat. All experience levels welcome. We will come together to fellowship, collaborate, and create with our Creator. This is a time of retreat and refreshment, so come prepared to create and rest.

If you are coming from out of town, you are responsible for your own lodgings. Dinner on Friday night and lunch on Saturday provided. Please bring whatever materials you need to create (instrument, pens, pencils, laptop, etc). It is going to be a great weekend! Here are a few notes about what to expect:

Schedule. You can preview our schedule at the below. We’ve designed our twenty-four hours to foster connection and collaboration, as well as solitude and quiet where you need it. If you’ve never been to a retreat like this before, don’t worry—Rachel, Ben and Crystal will be available to guide you along the way.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions before Friday July 24th. Contact with retreat leaders is provided in your confirmation email. Thank you for bringing yourself to this space and being a part of the good things we pray God will do here.
