I didn’t want to leave! I’m so happy that I jumped at the last minute opportunity to go. It was a trip I’ll never forget. The mentors were amazing. I was so inspired and learned so much new information about the ever evolving music industry. The contacts are golden and I made some great friends! I wouldn’t have met any of these incredible people if it wasn’t for this trip. And I felt so alive performing at the live music night. All of the artists and songwriters they chose were TALENTED. Not like kinda good, they were all great! It renewed my drive as an artist and entrepreneur and I can’t wait to go on the next one! @aliciaskymusic

Amazing curating done by Adam & Sam. It was such an honor to be able to participate in the 2017 Costa Rica retreat.

The Neverland Retreat is an extraordinary event. I was honored to be one of the mentors at this year's retreat in Nosara, and I hope to come back in the future. At the very least, I will continue to be one of the retreat's biggest fans. The talent is out of this world, and I was grateful to work hands on with each of the participants. The retreat provides an environment where the participants are able to have their specific questions answered, share their musical works with each of the mentors, receive honest and constructive feedback during their song critiques, and learn valuable survival skills for life in the music industry. All of the sessions were carefully organized and uniquely tailored to maximize the participants' experience. Additionally, there were daily opportunities for networking and bonding. I cannot think of another organization or retreat that provides such a high caliber suite of services in one week. Oh....and did I mention that this all takes place in a tropical jungle paradise?! Please DM me if you would like to hear more about this awesome experience!

The list of amenities during this writing retreat goes on and on. However, what stuck out to me the most was the opportunity to sit and be mentored by these individuals that have the ability to proactively prevent the errors that I could potentially make in my career. A BIG thank you to the mentors/speakers and the founders of this organization, Sam Heights and Adam Mcinnis. Neverland Retreats will be an unforgettable experience. #puravida

I didn't know what to expect really with this retreat, but I thought I'd take a chance, I mean it was in Costa Rica so if didn't go well I'm still in a beautiful place! Well, it did go well, it was actually one of the best experiences I've ever had! From before the trip to after, and everything in between was extremely professional! Everyone was very welcoming, accepting and helpful no matter what the case may be. There was a plethora of valuable information that was given about the music industry that is extremely valuable! Not to mention the time mentors took to personal help you out with songwriting questions. And lastly the connections that were made, but even more importantly in my opinion, the friendships that were made on this trip! Something I value very highly as this is what life is all about, to connect with others and share this incredible journey we have in front of us! I will say this and I truly mean it, if I were to never write another song again, this trip was totally worth it! That is the impact it has had on me! However, that is not the case and will most definitely benefit from all the music business and songwriting tips as well as the relationships from fellow musicians. This is a top notch, class act organization and would do it all over again! So, if you can't already tell, I highly recommend you step out of your comfort zone and take this journey!

This is one of those things that you don’t realize you NEED until you get there. I had no idea how beneficial being surrounded by so much talent would be for my soul, but I am just so grateful to have gotten the chance to meet as many DOPE artists as I did. The lineup of speakers was incredible, and I have a completely new view on the industry now. They poured their hearts out and gifted us with all of their knowledge; it was a truly humbling experience. Not only did this retreat give me a different perspective on music, but it gave me a different perspective on LIFE. Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible; I’m already planning for new jungle adventures at next year’s retreat! Pura Vida!

Neverland Retreats is a business that is going places. I never would have thought being in a jungle with a bunch of strangers for 5 days would end up being such an amazing experience. They have an extremely unique concept that sets them apart from any other company, and their execution is top-notch. Every aspect of this retreat has been something that will be remembered for a lifetime. The location, staff, mentors, attendees, excursions, food, and locals were all amazing. I'll definitely be attending the next workshop. Pura Vida! ��

This has been much more than I ever expected. Pretty life changing actually.
I learned so much and now know what steps to take to further my career.
Being in the jungle allows everyone to really be present and be together. You get to ask the mentors questions when you want and they really take the time for you. (I mean the top entertainment lawyer was literally reading some of the student's contracts and helping them figure everything out!)
There's no rush here in the jungle.
The bonus was doing the adventures (zip lining, ATVs and jumping into a waterfall!)
I made friends for life, with my fellow artists/songwriters and even with the mentors.

These 5 days that I have been fortunate to spend with likeminded musicians in Costa Rica’s jungle have been more valuable to me than I could ever imagine. You are given the chance to ask ANY questions to professionals from the industry in a safe environment, find future collaborations or co-writing partners and create lifetime memories. Along with showcasing your music, singing/playing at open-mic nights, listen to speakers and networking, you will also explore the amazing country of Costa Rica! You do not want to miss this opportunity!

This organization is absolutely top Knotch for people who are trying to break into the industry, people who already established in the industry, people who would like to be surrounded by other talented people for company or potential collaborations, and or people trying to learn the business aspect of the music industry. It is run by professionals who have been doing this for a long time and know the most important aspects of the music industry. They have come together wanting to spread this knowledge to you! This very well priced annual trip presents so much opportunity for everyone involved. It's a place where determined, intelligent, and talented people can gather in an intimate setting with the paradisal environment of Costa Rica. Adam and Sam are excellent people and iconic at what they do. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who is serious about Music. � -Elle Vee (Darkchild Songwriter/EDM recording artist/BMG Publishing)

We went to their last event at Black Marigold Studios and we were blown away! Not only did all of the speakers give lots of great, useful information but all of the attendees were very talented. We're now going to collaborate with two, possibly three, of the speakers, one of which is going to set up cowrites in LA for us.
I really mean this: these events can change your career.

This experience was so much greater than I expected! The speakers, the talent, the food, the views, the beach, the parties, and the new friendships. Somehow I feel like I've met people that we will share a bond for the rest of our lives. Sounds cheesy but it's just what I feel. It helped me see how bonded we all really are at the core and how we can bring greatness out in others sometimes with the smallest amount of good energy.
