PSGW Retreats

PSGW RETREATS 2011–2012

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 time. Sleep late, jam with friends, nap, dance, party. No schedule, no classes, no hassle, no hurry. Same great site; same great food. Families are welcome, whether they play instruments or not. Reduced prices for children 12 and under. You are welcome to bring folks who've never been to PSGW, but if you do, things go best when you consider yourself their personal host for the event.

Feel free to call retreat organizer Fl!p Breskin if you have questions or would like a personal invitation. We do have some limited scholarship funds. Contact Fl!p Breskin - I'd love to hear from you.

NEW YEARS RETREAT 2011–2012

Thursday, December 29, 2011, Dinner–Monday, January 2, 2012, Brunch.
Cost: $300, or $245 for Friday dinner–Monday brunch
$5 discount if paid in full with a single check by Dec. 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, party & late night buffet in addition to the delights of jamming. For this retreat only, it's possible to make arrangements to come for a shorter stay, though it works best for the community if most people come for the whole time.

WINTER RETREAT 2012

President's Day Weekend (U.S.) Friday, February 17, 1 PM–Monday, February 20, 1 PM
$275
$5 discount if paid in full with a single check before January 15, though it's often full by then.

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 2012

Friday–Sunday, April 27–29, 2012.
$175
$5 discount if paid in full with a single check.

Probably around 50 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, good food and no dishes to wash.

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.
