Tarab Retreat
Emmersive Events for Global Grooves
Meg York and Pete Jacobs started Tarab Retreat in 2018 inspired by Middle East and East European Folklife Center Mendocino California camps . The first two years were at the historic La Foret Center in the Black Forest of Colorado Springs. During Covid, Tarab Retreat hosted over 300 hours of Faisal Zedan percussion classes, Yalda Celebration for Persian winter solstice, and hybrid events at Columbin Conference Center.
Tarab has brought together Arabic, Jewish, Israli, Persian, Iranian, Nepali, Hindustani, Jazz, Sephardic, Flamenco, and Palistinian artists together to create, celebrate, and collaborate.
