international songwriters retreat, Gotland 2025
Gotland International Songwriters Retreat, Sweden
4 -11 May 2025
Nu är det dags igen för ett nytt Songwriters Retreat på Gotland! De tidigare åren har varit en succé, med nöjda deltagare och många nya samarbetsprojekt, turnéer och skivinspelningar. Deltagare från tidigare år har genom de kontakter de skapat under retreatet, spelat in skivor och turnerat i USA och andra länder. Många av de samskrivna sångerna har hamnat på utgivna skivor.
Holmhällar är en sagolikt vacker plats för låtskriveri. Här inspireras vi av hav, vindpinade tallar, raukar, fågelliv, magiskt ljus och en dedikerad grupp människor fyllda av musik.
Årets veckolånga retreat kommer att samla 20 professionella låtskrivare och vara fokuserad på inspiration, co-writing och utvecklandet av ditt musikaliska konstnärskap. Varje år har vi en Invited Writer, en etablerad internationell låtskrivare. 2025 års Invited Writer presenteras snart!

PERFORMANCE & INTERPRETATION
FOR YOU / Interpretation och Scenframställning
In this workshop we explore preparing body- and voicework for stage performance, and also
bring a song of choice / of your own- to work with for the interpretation. Annika uses several different techniques, along with her developed Stage Presence Method, both for body and voice, to "open up" and be fully present, good tecniques to use when you are on stage, in talks as well as in singing.
In the Performance&Interpretation workshops we start out with presence training,
body&voice through Alexander Teqnique, Mirka method, and the Stage Presence Method I've developed.
Then we do the Masterclass where the participants have prepared a song
( Song of Choice. If you are a songwriter, prefarably one of your own songs...)
I work with one at a time ( the others are audience) with expression and performance. Depending on time and number of participants , about 15 min/each. We all learn and connect.
Participants: Singers, Songwriters, performers, actors, speech-holders, choir singers....etc...
Requirements:
1,5 - 3 hours, depending on the size
of group. 5-10 people doing solo-songs .
(Flexible to forming the workshop in time and size.)
The solo-singers need to prepare a song they want to sing.
An accompanist is needed for the solo-singers (piano or guitar) (not required)
Price: contact [email protected]
WORKSHOP FOR CHOIRS
Workshop för körer
- Performance and Interpretation with Annika Fehling (SE)
Most choirs have members who sings solo-parts and solo-songs.
This is an inspirational workshop to get new tools into the singing.
Its done as a Master Class - which means the whole choir can participate for some of the excercises, and when Annika works ”one-on-one”, the rest can be audience, and learn from their fellow members work.
With Annikas background as a trained actress, she has worked with many methods for stage-presence and interpretation, for example Alexander Tecnique, Qi Gong, Mirka Method, RC. This workshop is very "hands-on", in the form of a Master Class, where Annika will work with the whole group first, and then one on one, in front of the group.
Requirements:
1,5 - 3 hours, depending on the size
of group. 5-10 people doing solo-songs .
(Flexible to forming the workshop in time and size.)
The solo-singers need to prepare a song they want to sing.
An accompanist is needed for the solo-singers (piano or guitar) (not required)

"Thank you so much, Annika, for Friday's workshop in Tartu! I was deeply moved by your work, by your personality and most of all by your soul. In these past few years I have met so many inspiring women, but I have never felt something so deep. I felt your sage wolf soul which marked me deeply. You truly are a gift of heaven! Thank you!"

Birgid Tädht, Estonia
"You did a wonderful job as a work shop leader last week-end. I enjoyed it very much and especially the speed coaching sessions impressed me.
You were so focused and precise in all 7 or 8 sessions and your technique with responding personally and emotionally on the lyrics made a significant change in the expressions – simple and effect full – very good work -thanks a lot. The concert at Stars was a lovely experience too – as Mick said: “Du synger pissegodt” – and you’re a great songwriter too, I’m very happy and grateful to know you – you rock!!!"
Kalle Kjemtrup
"I know that I told you that you sing "Pisse godt" during our weekend, but I didn't say strongly enough that I think that you are a VERY, VERY !! competant teacher. Tottaly professional in every way!
But I'd also like to add that you are a VERY lovely person to be with, and I'm sure that 99% of the people who have been on your workshops or seen you perform, think the same as I do about you. I wish you a lot of succes with your latest CD and the whole of your career, in every way! You deserve it! From the heart, Mick "
Mick Mahony, Denmark
"Annika Fehling höll en inspirerande Workshop i Vordingsborg, Danmark.
Hennes engagemang omfattar alla aspekter av funktioner inom songwriter tradition, och hon öste generöst ut sin kunskap.
Konkret hade hon framgång med sin egenskapsupplevelser där hon undervisat andra i kropp, koncentration och delvis andning / röst funktioner.
Eftermiddagen "interpretation " där flera deltagit som försökskaniner, var en mycket speciell upplevelse, eftersom Annika tydligt uppmärksammade den presenterade tolkningen, och förtydligade denna än mer.
De två "co-write" sessioner fungerade speciellt mycket bra. Den första, som bygger på texten och den andra baseras på ett "Melody spel" var mycket givande.
Personligt tillägg är att jag nu har verktyg för att hitta melodier, som jag annars har haft svårt med, och att mina scenframträndanden har förstärkts. "
