Your rights
Nothing about rights in songs written at the retreat appears in the captured terms — the retreat page, captured September 29, 2026.
May 13 to 16, 2027 at Parlor Hotel in Princeton, Wisconsin — seven rooms in an 1868 commercial building, the whole group under one roof. Three nights, a small group, all levels welcome, registration open now. The page’s own estimate of the output is specific: “Most attendees leave with 8-10 new songs.”
This edition costs $50 more than the series’ two earlier ones: $600 for a shared room, $750 for a private one, against $550 and $700 in West Virginia and Ohio. Payment is due before the retreat starts. Accommodation, meals with vegetarian options, coffee, tea and snacks, two books and a notebook are included; transportation, alcohol and instruments are not. It is also the first TERRA page to mention money going the other way: “We have a small scholarship fund” — no amount or criteria given — for anyone for whom cost is the barrier.
The same two silences as the series’ other pages, reported rather than glossed: no registration deadline is published, so the date on this card is the start date, and nothing on the page addresses ownership of, or splits in, songs co-written there.
