Escape to the Irish countryside for 2 days of learning, working and relaxing with fellow creative piano teachers.
Feel like your teacher brain needs a breath of fresh air? What better place to inhale deeply and exhale positive teaching energy than the Irish countryside!
I will be hosting the Keys and Trees Retreat here in Ireland from June 27th to June 30th, 2025. This event includes accommodation for 3 nights and 2 days of learning, working and laughing together.
Get a room all for yourself and your pass for the 2-day retreat with 3 nights of accommodation. The 5 bathrooms are shared between all guests.
Earlybird rate: €950
Some of the rooms at our retreat house are twin rooms so you can opt to share with another attendee if you would like to save a little money.
Earlybird rate: €800
Bring a non-teacher partner or friend to share your bed and have breakfast before going off on their own adventures during the day.
Earlybird rate: €1200
I will give you the exact address after you sign up. The house is in a beautiful area of Ireland and is a typical Irish home (think plenty of wood!) surrounded by gorgeous greenery. There's plenty of room for us to work and learn and I will be bringing down my two digital pianos.
There is no public transport to the retreat house. You can rent a car at Dublin airport when you arrive if you wish – just be aware that we drive on the left here! Most cars are also manual (stick-shift) you'll need to specifically request automatic if that's what you're comfortable with.
If you're not up for the adventure of driving on the left, I can organise a group minivan from Dublin down to the house. You can just let me know you want that option and we'll sort it out after you book.
We have a ticket option for a plus one. This will entitle your travel companion to stay with you (sharing your bed) and have breakfast with us each day. They can then explore the area or just chill and read while we do our piano-teacher thing!
We have a maximum of 10 teachers on the retreat. So a really nice, cosy group!
I do hope that if you're travelling from afar you can spend a bit of time exploring Ireland before or after the retreat! The typical route tourists take involves going to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher, the North to see the Giant's Causeway , and a few days in Dublin to see our museums. You find plenty of day trips and multi-day tours to visit these spots.
If you want recommendations that are a bit more off-the-beaten path, I'm happy to help with that! Renting a car to tour around yourself is probably easiest but you could definitely see a lot by train/bus, too.
You can request a refund (less payment fees) up until February 28th. After that, I will not be able to fill your spot as another teacher would have to have time to prepare their travel arrangements.
No, sorry. Since this is a local event we must charge in Euro. Your bank will determine the rate of exchange when you use your card.
You may like to have your own iPad or laptop with you, although if you prefer old-fashioned notebooks, that's fine too. I'd recommend packing for all weather as Ireland is unpredictable: a light rain jacket and some layers for when you're chilly are always a good idea. Our climate is generally a bit damp so people tend to feel cold at higher temperatures than they would in other countries...but, hey, that's what gives us the 50 shades of green!
