Carawan was so inspired after hearing Maya Angelou speak that she began creating Music Lessons (presentations that integrate story-telling, music and humor). As a speaker Carawan weaves her messages and music together seamlessly into presentations for conferences, retreats, churches and professional organizations.

Workshops & Women’s Retreats

The Fearless, Fun & Freedom Women’s Retreat is a yearly event facilitated by Claudia Carawan and Jana Stanfield at Serenity Farm in Maidens, Virginia.  This retreat experience is a magical weekend of music, friendship and transformation.  Carawan also conducts a variety of informative and interactive workshops on creativity and music.   For more info please see Workshops.

Claudia and I have worked together on Women’s Retreats and she is AWESOME! Claudia is a phenomenal songwriter and performer. She reads the energy of the group and knows just what music is needed to enhance the experience.
