Integral Trumpet Retreat
ITR 2006 - May 26-29
Angels' Rest Retreat, Leyden Mass.
http://www.itrumpet.com

Come join Kevin Cobb and Brian McWhorter for a retreat that will
encourage a transformative practice based on integral and wholistic
wisdom. Integral Trumpet Retreat 2006 will take place in the gorgeous hills of Leyden, Massachusetts over Memorial Day weekend in May.

Simply put, the aim of Integral Trumpet is to broadly and radically
shift common ideas of practice and its potentials. ITR will provide
sustenance to a growing network of musicians who have realized that
their practice is comprehensive in scope - that their practice of
music brings them to their deepest resistances, their biggest fears,
and their most vulnerable states - and that by working with these
arising signs, the practitioner can work through life in a meaningful
and sophisticated way and become the living art that is their
potential.

ITR promises to be a retreat of like-minded practitioners who are
ready to move on from a reductionistic and competitive field into a contemplative and wholistic path. By understanding that a truly
transformative practice is not only made up of fundamentals, technique, mental exercises or creative work, we will engage in an integral practice model that will cover all areas of body, mind and spirit and all levels of I, we and it.

While ITR is essentially for trumpeters, we are happy to consider
applications from other musicians. ITR is open to professionals,
college students, teachers and amateurs seeking to improve their
practice. Total cost for the retreat is $475 which includes tuition,
room and board. Scholarships may be available for students.
