Testimonials for Pender Island Flute Retreat
“...was a week of deep self discovery; of my flute playing and of myself as a person."

"...changed the way I approach flute playing and transformed my perspective on the subtle joys in my life! It was truly a life changing experience for my career and heightened the self-awareness of my body. It was wonderful to work with Wibb (William Bennett), and Lorna was such an inspiration!"

"Pender Island Flute Retreat was everything I had hoped it would be and more. The week long retreat provided an opportunity for all of us (faculty included) to explore and refine our craft and our musicianship in what was truly a supportive environment. It made me so happy to see students courageously step out of their comfort zone and find that they could fly. From Heather's morning classes away from the flute, to Wibb's incredible masterclasses, there was an integration of mind, body, intellect and imagination. On top of all that, we were staying in one of the most beautiful locations imaginable. While I was teaching private lessons in the gazebo, I saw river otters, kingfishers, hummingbirds, dragonflies.... paradise!!"
