Find relief from anxiety, stress, and burnout

This November, The Onsite Foundation in partnership with MusiCares is excited to host a healing retreat for music-industry professionals.

Step away from the hustle of everyday life and give yourself room to heal what hurts by exploring who you are, what got you here, and the life you want to live moving forward.

Where it’s safe to be you

Give yourself room to be

Take a moment to step away from the noise and distractions of your routine and dive into a journey of self-love and self-discovery.

Experience healing

Rest and recharge alongside a nurturing community of like-minded creatives as you work to build a more healthy, connected, and authentic life.

Clinical expertise

For decades, Onsite has been a trusted resource for artists and those in the music industry. Our team of therapists provides knowledgeable guidance to take you from where you are to where you want to be. 

Healing hospitality

Let nature nurture, enjoy good meals, and sleep deeply. Our team covers all the details so you can focus on what you came here to do—find lasting healing.

What we’ll workshop

Unplugged is a 4-day workshop that works through the fundamental concepts and ideas that keep so many of us stuck, including: 

  • Trauma
  • Shame
  • Inner child
  • Family of origin
  • Codependency
  • Medicators
  • Relationships
  • Self-Actualization

Guiding you to your fullest potential  

It’s no secret that life in the music industry creates high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout. Studies show that those in the creative sector are 3x more likely to face mental health challenges than the general population.

Whether you are struggling to juggle everything coming at you or simply want to optimize life with renewed vision, meaning, and purpose, this program will help you disconnect in order to reconnect to what really matters.
