Whether you're new to the ukulele or have been playing for years, at the Ukulele Zen retreat you'll receive world class instruction and how to create a deeper music practice for cultivating joy and relieving stress.

Classes focus on how to listen deeply to the present moment and “your fellow travelers” in order to approach music making from a more joyful, non-judgmental and relaxed perspective.

“Ukulele Zen” is a unique method created by award-winning teaching artist Stu Fuchs that weaves music study with mindful movement and accessible mindfulness practices from the Plum Village tradition of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.

These practices will nurture your connection to the intuitive musician within and help you access a more relaxed technique so you can enjoy your playing for longer with less discomfort.

You'll leave the ukulele Zen experience with a treasure trove of new music skills, fun memories, and the inspiration to continue your music journey at home for self-expression and wellness.
