A refresh for you and your digital workspace
A special getaway for studio music teachers looking for a boost in spirit and workspace.
2026 RETREAT DATE
Wednesday, August 12 – Saturday, August 15, 2026
Does your digital world feel overwhelming? From overflowing inboxes to scattered files and endless photos, the clutter never seems to end. You’re left feeling disorganized, frustrated, and weighed down by tasks that should be simple.
The truth is, your time and energy are too valuable to be drained by digital chaos. You should be free to put that energy where it matters most—into your teaching—not battling digital clutter.
You’ll walk away with:
A fresh start with your digital workspace and a practical outlook on how to keep up.
Your spirit encouraged, renewed, and refreshed for your next season of teaching and life.
Imagine working every day on a computer free of clutter.
“They are basic things, but I didn’t know about so many of them! I learned a lot and will continue to learn as I review.”

Additionally, if you are bringing a new device, please set it up as much as possible in advance.
You struggle to set aside uninterrupted time to tackle out-of-control areas of your digital workspace.
You appreciate personal instruction and guidance over pursuing “how-to” videos on all the little things.
You value forming connections with other teachers on a smaller scale and at a more personal level.
You would enjoy a little camaraderie while tackling the boring, busy work you usually try to ignore!
This retreat takes place in Amy Chaplin’s home in Bluffton, Indiana, during the summer months.

Attending this retreat was life-changing. The digital clutter in my life was taking over & I knew it was causing stress – but I didn’t even know the half of it until I started digging through it all…. This was an invaluable retreat that changed how I look at my digital workspace, & how I will use it moving forward.
It’s also important to note that the accommodations alone are worth the trip!!!!

If you’re considering participating in Amy’s digital organization retreat, DO IT! It is well worth your time and money.
Amy treats you like royalty….I returned home from this retreat with valuable tools that will help me keep my digital space organized and some cherished memories to boot!

Amy’s retreat was a dream. I loved having the chance to do the organizational work with her guidance, and I left feeling like I had a clear path in front of me toward a more organized business and life.
At least as valuable as all that, though, was the opportunity to experience Amy’s generous hospitality and to make new friends.
In so many ways, it was a truly soul-filling experience.
