The Medicine of Song, the Land, and Community

If your life were a song, what would it be? If you told the story of your heart, what tale would you tell? This workshop invites participants to discover their authentic singing and songwriting voice through creative exercises, prompts, and assignments. We will focus on opening the creative heart and bringing forth the music and stories that dwell within. All are welcome, regardless of prior songwriting experience or musical background.

With a playful spirit, we will invite the stunning natural beauty of the Big Sur coast — its healing waters and the spirit of the land — to work its magic on us as we immerse ourselves in creative flow.

We will be connecting with the subtle body through movement, singing, meditation, chanting, and journaling. Through these practices, we open the channels to creativity and healing, lifting our voices together in song to create a sense of community that the world is so hungry for now.

Learn the craft and tools of songwriting: verses, choruses, bridges, melody, rhythm, rhyme, and more. It is not required that you play a musical instrument, but if you have one, bring it. Evening jams in the lodge or around the fire will be open to everyone. 

Within the safe container of community, everyone will be invited to delve into the deep work that only creative play allows.
