Mar. 26 – 29, 2027<\/h3>\r\n

Join Elise & special guest\u00a0SUZZETTE ORTIZ\u00a0<\/a>to sing on the 26,000 acre barrier island of Ossabaw, a State Heritage Preserve off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. We will have ample time to listen, explore, and learn about the island\u2019s varied ecosystems – Spanish moss adorning live oaks; rookeries with herons, egrets, and roseate spoonbills; brief glimpses of alligators, deer, and wild pigs; and the 700 year old mother tree… as well as the island’s human history – migratory North American tribes who lived here 5000 years ago, plantation owners and enslaved people, and the woman who is responsible for Ossabaw becoming Georgia\u2019s first Nature Preserve.<\/span><\/h5>\r\n
\r\n

The retreat is an opportunity for individuals to learn more about their own voice, to build community through group singing, and to celebrate the natural environment with deep listening, resonant voices, and our individual and communal creativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n

Registration price includes\u00a0accommodations, boat transportation to and from the island, locally sourced organic meals by Chef Lesley, a natural and cultural history tour with our on-island host Ben, morning qigong, an evening fire circle sing, and singing workshops with Elise & Suzzette in various locations on the island.<\/span><\/h4>\r\n

Participants limited to 13\u00a0 ~\u00a0 Registration closes Sept. 30!\\<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
