The Women's Retreat: The Craft of Voice and Music
Madison, Virginia

Monday 17th to Friday 21st of March, 2003

Sevenoaks Pathwork Center

Jaxie Binder, Debra Kahan, Patricia Leavitt, Cathy Stevens, Sandra Bain Cushman

The Women's Retreat will be an opportunity to apply the principles of Craft to vocal and instrumental music, along with an introduction to the Alexander Technique. While there will be a focus on voice and guitar, other instruments are welcome and participants are encouraged to bring them.

The Retreat will be open to all women; neither prior participation in Guitar Craft nor any prior musical experience are required. All aspects of the retreat will be co-operative - there will be no dedicated kitchen or house staff - thus providing further opportunities for personal practice in non-musical applications.

Generally, the Retreat will be open to women over the age of 21, but younger women may also apply and will be considered.

The instructors will include Jaxie Binder for guitar; Patricia Leavitt and Debra Kahan for voice; Sandra Bain Cushman will supervise the presentation of the Alexander Technique.

The Retreat will open with Afternoon Tea on Monday, March 17th, and will close after Lunch on Friday, March 21st. The cost of the retreat will be between $550 and $700, depending on the number of participants. A non-refundable deposit of $125 is required to reserve your space.
