Come write songs, soak in hot springs, and reconnect—with yourself, your voice, and a small group of fellow songwriters—during this weekend retreat in the peaceful mountain valley of Jemez Springs, New Mexico, once home to the great Leonard Cohen.
Nestled along the Jemez River, the Bodhi Manda Zen Center offers healing waters, contemplative quiet, and daily access to on-site natural hot springs for all retreat participants.
This immersive weekend retreat includes:
✨ Daily songwriting prompts + guided mentorship
🧘 Morning meditation instruction
🎤 Nightly song circles
🎼 Cowriting partnerships with new collaborators each day—including your facilitators
You'll leave with at least two new co-written songs, a deeper connection to your creative voice, and a renewed sense of peace and purpose.
