Heron’s Landing Retreat

Becca Kidwell

As our preparation for “A Song & Its Girl” was winding down in March, I wondered what my next steps would be.  Singing was bringing me so much joy, but what path should I take?  I found out from my musical director, Tracy Stark that there was a new cabaret retreat at Lake Saranac, NY at the end of June at this place called, “Heron’s Landing.”

I got accepted and spent a magical week where I was able to learn how to be mindful and appreciate each moment that I get to sing.  It was an amazing journey.  We each had our own goals and our own reasons for being there and our own special revelations from the retreat.  My gratitude knows no bounds for that experience.  Read the article in Cabaret Scenes to find out more about our experience.
