Are you feeling a bit weary and overloaded? The Piano Pantry Retreat is a special getaway for teachers looking for a boost in spirit and workspace.
As independent music teachers, there are two things that are especially hard to find time for: connecting in person with other teachers and having large periods of time to get our digital workspaces in order.
This retreat covers both. You’ll walk away with
(1) Your daily digital workspace in order and a fresh outlook on how to keep up
(2) Your spirit encouraged, renewed, and refreshed for your next season of teaching and life.
Please note that since the work focus of this retreat is around digital management, the ideal attendee is someone who works from a laptop computer daily rather than a desktop, so your device can come along for the ride. 🙂
Note: This digital coaching program is also available as an online series. For more details, visit the digital coaching page.

Location
This retreat takes place in Amy Chaplin’s home in Bluffton, Indiana, during the Summer months.
Fort Wayne International (FWA) is just under a 30-minute drive. I can probably help organize to have someone do pickup and transport to my home.

Please note that filling out the interest form does NOT mean you are guaranteed a spot or even registered. It is simply to let me know you are interested in attending one of the two offered dates in the summer of 2023.
Due to the small group nature of this retreat (by design), I have to survey interest before I can accept attendees. After applications have been surveyed, you will be contacted individually with registration information as space is available.
