Summer Retreat 2026 Applications Now Open! Deadline May 15th ☀️
Our Residencies and Retreats provide a framework for musicians from diverse genres, experience levels, and identities to collaborate, explore, and learn from one another in a mutually supportive environment in nature over the course of 4-10 days.
All genres.
All experience levels.
Music everywhere.
Beautiful nature.
No big egos.
Every summer, we go somewhere outside Berlin for a few days.
For workshops that members propose and run themselves — on production, on performance, on the meta stuff about artist identity or funding or career that's hard to find time for.
For jams that nobody planned but everyone ends up at.
For Feedback sessions where people are actually honest with each other, but also super kind and supportive and caring.
A lot of cooking. A lot of dumb jokes, especially about chickens. Late nights. Running into someone in a corner of the garden recording something heartfelt and personal, or someone who’s turned the sauna (yes, of course there’s a sauna!) into a vocal booth.
We've been doing this since 2021, when one retreat to get through the pandemic became the foundation for something much bigger: a community of 50+ musicians across all genres and experience levels. Alongside the retreat, we organize showcases to lift each other up, skill-shares, workshops, jams and hangouts in Berlin.
Applications for Summer 2026 are open now. All genres. All experience levels. Deadline mid-May.
Want to get a feel for us first? Come to our info evening on May 10th at 90mil!
“This whole thing was a great experience for me. I was really stressed out beforehand, thinking I’d probably need to be ‘on’ in terms of self-promotion and skills and ‘perform’ with people in sessions. I think what made the space so special was the diversity, lack of agenda and ego.”
Here’s what past participants have had to say…
“THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was a beautiful experience and I feel like I found a music community in Berlin that I can be a part of beyond the space of the retreat. I appreciate that making this happen took A LOT of work, and the thoughtfulness of the organizing really made for a lovely space to be in.”
“I just loved everything and everyone. The teamwork was amazing. There was so much passion for music from everyone. Please keep up with these retreats. The world needs connection, community, and creativity.”
