What
is From Women's Hearts and Hands Guitar
Camp?
From Women's Hearts and Hands Guitar Camp
is an educational gathering for women who
love guitar. We convene twice yearly in
beautiful Mendocino, CA, for a
three-night-four-day celebration of women
learning guitar. Our program includes
guitar instruction, song circles,
performance opportunities, ensemble
playing, and delicious, wholesome, fresh
food prepared at camp by our beloved chef.
We
situate our gathering in a historic
Farmhouse on a gorgeous nature preserve.
For every session, our teachers
prepare a serious educational curriculum.
But we've seen that some of the best
learning occurs as campers talk, play
together, share their music, and become
friends. We inspire one another, learn
from one another, and give one another
courage to spread our musical wings.
Our Attitude
We regard From Women's Hearts and Hands
Guitar Camp as a retreat where campers can
forget their workaday cares and re-imagine
their lives. With our nutritious-delicious
food, superb instruction, and poetically
beautiful setting, we offer nourishment
for body, mind, and spirit.

Our History
From Women's Hearts and Hands Guitar Camp
has always been an act of love. We decided
to host the camps because we loved the
vision of an educational festival for
women who love guitar, and we couldn't
resist creating one. When we contacted Acoustic
Guitar Magazine and Fingerstyle
Guitar Magazine to discuss
advertising, both told us that women
comprise less than two percent of their
readership. These statistics sounded
discouraging. But love is not rational,
and we threw caution to the wind.
In January 2001, we produced the first
session of From Women's Hearts and Hands
Guitar Camp. |
