a music retreat for creative mamas
hill country · austin, tx
Join a circle of mamas for two days in nature, with new tools, new songs, and a retreat crafted around you.
get the first datesRest, rejuvenation, new tools, and room to hear yourself again.
Motherhood remakes everything: Our bodies, our time, who we are. There's so much in there to make something from, and almost no space to do it.
So we're making that space. We'll gather on the land for two days to be rejuvenated and inspired by Mother Nature. Then we'll write and create, supported by songwriting workshops, music technology and production workshops, tools, instruments, software, facilities, and expert facilitation.
No two retreats are the same. Each one is tailored, curated, and crafted around the mamas who gather, so what we learn and make together comes from what you tell us you need. No polish required. We're here for what's real.
Made for mamas, by mamas. Open to all women.
Preparing, expecting, newly postpartum, or ten years in. First beat or fifth album. We welcome all women, wherever you are in your motherhood or music production journey.
Mothers deserve support. So do musicians.
Early motherhood is one of the most crucial and demanding seasons of a woman's life. We're learning a whole new way of being while our creative selves keep knocking. Mother of Muses exists so that we keep growing inside our passions and keep sharing our gifts with the world, right through this season and beyond.
So we gather. We share what we know, cheer each other on, trade stories, and keep lifting each other up long after the weekend ends. When mothers create together, new futures become possible, for us, for our children, and for every woman who sees us doing it.
