FAQ

Why a ukulele retreat?

A retreat is a complete immersion in doing what you love. It's like being on a secluded island  where  the  concerns  of every day life  melt  away. No worries, no judgement. We offer a safe, supportive, all-women environment that encourages and nurtures. Think  sisterhood  bonding  with  music.

Why only eight participants?

We have  been  a  small-scale  ukulele retreat  for  seven  years. We believe people get lost in large groups, they seem to disappear. Sure, the sound is big, but in a small group there are more personable experiences. A closeness develops that doesn't happen in large groups. Small groups embrace the magic of the music which creates dynamic connections.

How is the the Sassy retreat different from others?

Ours is more of a discovery retreat with a community-based theme. You will leave with an abundance of songs, and a renewed appreciation of who you are behind the ukulele. When researching retreats be sure to compare apples to apples, and know the difference. Our biggest difference is that we're a small, intimate, women-only gathering in a beautiful,  serene, tropical  setting. Think couples retreat, where you and your ukulele are the couple.

Can I attend only one day?

We know how to say no. You can't! This defeats the purpose of the retreat.

Do I need to bring a music stand?

Nope, they are provided, on  loan  for  the weekend. 

Where in Florida?

Venice,  Florida  is  south  of Sarasota and  North of  Ft. Myers. Everyone  knows the west coast is the best coast.

What types of beverages can I bring?
