Wyldsong Retreats is a chance to step into your best songwriting with multi-award-winning songwriter and producer, Eliot Kennedy.

Around that guidance, we create the conditions for creativity to thrive. We step away from the digital world and let nature do some of the heavy lifting. Wild spaces. Running water. Clean air. Fewer distractions, more listening. 

We keep things deliberately small. Just 15 people. Like minds. Creative spirits. People who care deeply about melody and words. You’ll write solo and together, share ideas freely, and almost certainly leave with lifelong friends.

Days start simply in the idyllic setting of Lanehead at Lake Coniston. Breakfast together, then we begin at 10am — time to wake up properly, think clearly and find your rhythm.

This is how humans are meant to work together: curious, generous and present. Everyone wants to help. Everyone champions each other. There’s no ego in the room.

Alongside the writing, there’s real-world industry insight too — including live briefs from major labels, publishers and talent managers.
