Vibrancy songwriting retreat leads to new album and project
What happens when a diverse group of talented spiritual leaders, songwriters and musicians retreat to a space created specifically to bring about change and invigorate the soul? They birth enough soulful music to share a versatile and inspirational album with the world!
Vibrancy – A Collective of Creatives is a project originally launched by In Harmonie in Franschhoek in 2018. The goal was to inspire a group of creative souls in the spiritual community to collectively make music about rest, restoration and reconciliation in a beautiful and peaceful environment under the guidance of American songwriter and mentor Rita Springer, who mentors artists like Kari Jobe, Jeremy Riddle, etc.

“Our idea was that every person attending this retreat would leave In Harmonie with renewed inspiration, enthusiasm and courage; with new hope-bearing songs to sing and share in their communities; and with new friendships,” says experience designer Andriëtte de la Harpe.
However, the result of the gathering exceeded everyone’s wildest expectations – it led to the creation of a brand new album, ONE, which has just been released but is already capturing the hearts of music lovers everywhere. It boasts a rich and harmonious sound that, while unique to our country, also celebrates its diversity.
“The songwriters come from various cultural, denominational and racial backgrounds and created this music from a place of vulnerability. Relationships were formed to help build a bridge of reconciliation. The result offers a sneak peek at heaven-on-earth through music,” says Andriëtte.
The album will be available on all digital platforms from 7 June on pre-ordered on:
