Whether you're new to the ukulele or have been playing it for years, you'll deepen your music journey and have fun with teaching artist Stu Fuchs in this weeklong Ukulele Zen retreat. Stu blends mindfulness practice with music-making practice, cultivating joy and relieving stress.
The retreat focuses on:
- Listening deeply to the present moment in order to approach music making from a more joyful, nonjudgmental, and relaxed perspective
