Help us to fund the first residential exclusively LGBTQ+ Songwriting Retreat 🌈 A dedicated space for queer artist to create and connect ❤️

Hello fabulous LGBTQ+ community and beautiful allies!

I'm Kyla, non-binary artist, songwriter, event organiser, and proud mental health advocate. Alongside a dedicated team of passionate individuals, I am thrilled to introduce Kloud Retreat, an exclusively LGBTQ+ songwriting retreat taking place this October. 

Why are we hosting Kloud Retreat? To create a nurturing and inspiring environment where queer creatives can come together to share their unique stories and celebrate their incredible talent.

The week will be held in the serene East Sussex countryside, offering a free, fully accessible opportunity for all participants. We believe in the importance of dedicated queer creative spaces, where everyone feels safe to express themselves and collaborate. Our goal is to foster a strong sense of community that will extend far beyond the retreat, providing lasting connections and support.

The funds we raise will be used to cover accommodation, meals, and all the necessary resources to ensure an enriching experience for our attendees. This includes preparing and supplying attendees with mental health, LGBTQ+ and music specific resources, ensuring that our participants feel safe and supported throughout the retreat.

A highlight of the week will be the end-of-week song showcase and music mixer. Here, attendees will have the chance to debut their newly written songs alongside other original pieces to an audience of supportive friends, fans, and music industry professionals. This event will not only celebrate their hard work but also provide invaluable exposure and networking opportunities.

Thank you for supporting the Kloud Retreat. Together, we can create a space where queer creativity thrives and where a strong, lasting community is built.
