Recharge your batteries between summers!
It feels like there's never enough time
between classes at the summer sessions,
so here's a set of events with nothing but.
Sleep late, jam with friends, nap, dance, party.
No schedule, no classes, no hassle, no hurry.

Families are welcome. Reduced prices for children 12 and under.
Feel free to call retreat organizer Fl!p Breskin if you have questions or would like a personal invitation.

NEW YEARS RETREAT 2009-2010

Wednesday, December 30, 2009, Dinner - Sunday, January 3, 2010, Brunch.
Cost: $290. Deposit: $145. Pay in full by December 15. $5 discount if paid in full by November 15. Contact Fl!p Breskin for the cost of shorter stays, or for children.

We expect around 40 people for this one. A peaceful, engaging way to welcome in the New Year in a warm, welcoming community. We have an intimate swing dance and a wonderful New Years Eve feast in addition to the delights of jamming.

WINTER RETREAT 2010

President's Day Weekend (U.S.) Friday, February 12, 1 PM - Monday, February 15, 1 PM
Cost $255.00 Deposit $105.00 Pay in full by February 1st. $5 discount if paid in full by January 5th. Usually chock full with around 150 participants. An intense, high energy musical extravaganza. Winter Retreat tends to fill up right away. I recommend registering immediately if you want to get in. If you're new to jamming, you definitely want to come with a buddy for this one.

SPRING RETREAT 2010

Friday-Sunday, April 30-May 2, 2010. Cost $160.00. Deposit $80.00. Pay in full in advance. $5 discount if paid in full by March 15. Probably 20 to 30 participants. My favorite retreat. Very relaxed. It's like an old fashioned weekend-long house party with lots of folks to play with and plenty of space to play with them. At Spring Retreat I find I often have time to sit and make music with folks I haven't ever had a chance to hang out and jam with before, with deeply satisfying results.
