Guitar Retreat 5 to 7 of september

A guitar retreat focused on medicine music and mantras

This retreat is a playful, immersive experience where you’ll explore how you and your guitar can become one instrument of divine expression — how to bring music into the world through your heart, not your mind, and how to gently remove the obstacles that block the natural flow of music wanting to move through you.

Whether you’re playing mantras, songs, music for meditation, ceremonies, or movement practices, this weekend will give you hands-on experience in a nourishing and joyful way.

We’ll be surrounded by nature, nourished with delicious healthy meals, cooled by the natural swimming pool, and uplifted by the power of music we’ll co-create.

🔥 what to expect:

In this retreat you will learn by experience:

  • how to use what you already know in a more expressive way

  • what you need to know exactly in order to be able to play medicine songs, mantras, sound meditation on the guitar in a versatile, expensive way

  • how to use your voice while playing the guitar

  • how to improvise simply on the guitar in different contexts (meditation, mantras, songs, etc.)

  • creating music and soundscapes together

🎶 Who is this for?

This retreat is best suited for those who:

Can play at least a few basic chords (like Am, C, G) — even if not fluently yet.

Are already comfortable with basic chords and want to deepen their musical expression.

Whether you're a beginner or more experienced player, you’ll find inspiration and practical tools you can immediately apply at your level.

Gergely Szabados (Greg) is the founder of PlayMusicPeople! and the creator of "The Chords of Love" guitar courses, where he emphasizes a heart-centered approach to music. He has been playing guitar for 30 years, with the first 20 years spent playing in rock and electronic bands as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Over time, his focus shifted toward "music beyond performing art."

Greg now creates immersive, inclusive, and interactive musical experiences such as medicine song circles, kirtan, music meditation, sound journeys, music jams, and workshops, helping people build an intimate relationship with music and integrate music into their lives. He emphasizes that music is a skill anyone can learn, not just a talent for performers.
