Write. Create. Rest.
We’re here to help you find your song…
At Australian Songwriting Retreats, we believe that songwriting is more than just a craft — it’s a journey inward. Our retreats are designed to guide you from the noise of everyday life into a space of creativity, clarity, and connection with your true self.
Set in breathtakingly beautiful, tranquil locations, each retreat offers a powerful reset — a chance to immerse yourself in nature, creativity, and community. This isn’t just about writing songs. It’s about rediscovering the joy of expression and the magic of slowing down.
We pull back the curtain on our personal songwriting processes — from inspiration to structure to performance — and welcome you into a safe, inspiring environment where your creativity can thrive.
Come laugh, reflect, explore, rest, and write. Then do it all again.
No dishes, no pressure — just pure creative flow.

What our clients are saying
Sara Polanski
Songwriter
Getaway, write a song and meet some good people. A songwriting retreat where like-minded souls gather, and quietness, time and collaboration quench your tired creative mind. We started as strangers and after two days were allies, a songwriting sisterhood. Together we unfurled in the small Australian country town of New Norcia. The combination of a simple schedule, humble Spanish architecture and space made it possible for me to work on music and for music to work on me.
This retreat is a winner in my books, just say’n.

Bec
Writer/Performer
As a writer and performer, I have participated in 2 of the immersive weekend retreats held at country locations. Dee and Rose created an inclusive safe space where we were challenged to extend ourselves through specific writing exercises, group sharing and performance. The growth I saw in the many and varied participants was truly inspiring. So inspiring, in fact, that I began a live showcase series to provide opportunities for these emerging artists to perform.

Maddie
Songwriter
Thank you. I feel like I have achieved something that I held myself back from for a long time. I really overcame something that weekend and loved the idea of leaving things (ie issues) behind in New Norcia. I will remember it as a very special time and hugely valuable.
