August 8–15, 2027 · Spirit Camp · Mendocino, California
8 days to deepen your practice

Your presence.

The experience
Each day blends instruction, practice, and integration. You’ll refine your awareness, develop your relationship with instruments, and practice holding space with clarity and confidence.
Foundational and advanced playing techniques, vocal work, and a deeper understanding of music come into practice through small ensembles and individual sessions. Both include real-time feedback from the lead facilitators.
We begin on August 8, 2027. Alongside the training, we’ll hike in the forest and take a trip to the ocean. Morning yoga and meditation support the work each day.
