Dar Williams Retreat

January 2 (8 PM ET) – Zoom greetings and intro with Dar, the team and you
January 3 to January 5 – Online retreat
*The closing circle ends at 4 PM ET on 1/5/25, but save your evening for the SoFab showcase!

Join Dar and our retreat team songwriters, ushering in the new year with music in our supportive and fun-loving community. Our days will include a menu of options like daily inspiration, yoga, Dar’s song breakdowns, mentored songwriting circles led by Dar and our team of songwriters, and nightly song performances. We will also include our optional (and very popular) SoFab Collab workshop where you can get paired randomly to co-write and present the last night. Basically, all the fun and connection we enjoy during our in-person retreats. (Even an after-hours song circle and a virtual lunch hang.) You can balance your writing, reflecting and connecting (or reconnecting) with each other as you feel it each day.

And the blessings were like poets that we never find time to know,
But when time stopped I found the place where the poets go.
And they said, "Here have some coffee, it's straight, black and very old, "
And they gave me sticks and rocks and stars and all that I could hold,

I had the blessings, a moment of peace even when the night ends,
Yeah, the blessings, can we meet? Can we meet again,
At the crossroads of disaster and the imperfect smile,
With the angel in the streetlamp that blinks on as I walk on a mile, the blessings.

– Dar Williams, The Blessings
