‘Ukulele Retreat Hawai‘i in Southern California?

If you are unable to join us for ‘Ukulele Retreat Hawai‘i and want to be put on the mailing list for a potential Southern California retreat for the summer of 2026, please make sure add your name to Marion’s e-mail list: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/MBpiYqI/mailinglist

Although the precise dates and location are still to be determined, we can confirm that this event is planned for the summer season (June-August), aligning with our staff's schedules. Like our ‘Ukulele Retreat Hawai‘i, this event will have limited capacity, keeping with our desire to create an intimate learning experience.

Who is this Retreat For?

• Curriculum will be geared for Confident Beginners to Intermediate players.

  • Confident Beginners are players that know most of their first position chords, some barre chords, and are comfortable with a handful of picking and strumming patterns. Though they do not need to read tablature, it will be beneficial if they have a basic understanding of it.

• Breakout sessions will allow us to work with different levels in smaller groups

Why the Kahala Hotel and Resort?

We wanted you to be inspired, not only by the teaching, but by our location as well. With their spacious sleeping rooms and the beach being mere feet away, we know you will absolutely love this beautiful venue located on the outskirts of Honolulu.

• Though it is out of the main city, it has a free shuttle to take you to the Kahala Mall and Waikīkī.

• They have a Hertz Car Rental on site.

• The Kahala hosts its own cultural activities such as lei making, basket weaving, hula, and more.

• They also have boogie board, snorkel gear, stand up paddle board, kayak, and bike rentals. There are also daily yoga glasses available as well.

• Enjoy their onsite dolphins via their Dolphin Quest Program. Participation in a Dolphin Quest experience supports vital marine mammal conservation, education and scientific study.
