You will receive a request to complete a google form to tell Margie the details of your travel, food allergies, etc. Please make sure to email Margie if you have questions.

HAKALAU, HAWAII Session ILeo Nani Farms | Sat Feb 2 - Sun Feb 10, 2019

Rhiannon's farm is near Hilo, on the east side of the big island.  Please fly into HILO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. You will travel to your accommodations from Hilo Airport. The houses are usually available approx. 3:00 or 4:00 pm. There is often a very casual gathering in Hilo at a restaurant on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2018.-about 5:30. Arrival day is different for everyone-singers are coming in at different times-they each have to get to a store to buy some groceries for breakfast and get settled in their homes. Still, we love to gather and say hello and have a dinner or drink together in Hilo. The singing starts on the farm at
10 am on Sun, Feb 3, 2019. Singers are responsible for their own ground transportation. Usually someone in each house rents a car -often the singer who arrives first- and the other singers in the house share the expense of the rental during the ATWI workshop. Estimated cost is about $100 for each singer. Margie will help organize the ground transportation. We have houses located near the farm ) or down in Hilo. We rent a few properties that allow for early arrival or late departure. The cost for those extra days would be the responsibility of the singer. Contact Margie if you plan to arrive early or stay later and we will try and help you as space is available. We do not support lodging for friends/partners or families. If you plan to travel with someone(s) we recommend you arrange for your own lodging. and let Margie know at the time of your registration. We hope that singers will spend their time with the singers in ATWI. This is the year to develop new musical friendships.. Contact Margie if you need any advice or clarification. Be sure Margie has your travel info as soon as possible and no later than Jan. 1, 2019.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Session III |  Mon Oct 19 - Tues Oct 27, 2019

Singers will stay together in rental properties near the studio. At the first session in Hawaii singers will discuss together their preferences. Sometimes the group likes to stay together and share the cost of a large home. And sometimes singers prefer smaller rentals for a few people. We will suggest some VRBO type rentals for the group. Rhiannon has dear friends in Atlanta and we have a deep network to recommend where to stay and to help us best navigate the ground transportation. To confirm:
We do not pay for lodging, food or ground transportation for this third session. We do provide the studio, concert space, and musical collaborators. Singers should plan for an estimated shared cost for lodging of approx $500 to $750.
