Song circles are a great way to get a song "out there" in a setting that isn't quite as stressful as performing, and where members come with the idea of getting help, and being willing to help others, with perspective on songs we've written, suggestions for re-writes, new sections etc. So, it's a balance: all of us who write are likely to be sensitive about criticism but we also know we need critique if we are going to improve as songwriters, so a song circle must be comprised of people bold eno …

It helps if we can escape the "rat race" and rediscover the craft and pleasure of our writing in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.

We'll feature, sponsor, co-sponsor and present writing retreats that offer getaway options closer to home, here in Ohio. The current weather …
