This is a beautiful way to spend 90 minutes for anyone who is a songwriter, poet, writer or an aspiring-to-be!! 

Consider this your artist date for the week! 

We begin with a meditation and then take you through some of the exercises we run at a full weekend retreat and teach you some great techniques for drawing forth ideas when you may feel blocked through the art of PLAY!

Bring your note book, a pen and an open mind. You will be moving and singing out allowed so be in a space condusive to this. 

Exercises including but not limited to:

• meditation - body

The only rule, if you share - there are NO DISCLAIMERS.

We all enter the Zoom Room with the understanding that this is a SAFE SPACE where early ideas can be shared, changed, deliberated over and massaged into the best form possible. 

• No disclaimers or excuses or “i’m not sure, it’s not finished, i’m not sure”
• No self deprecating comments
• Play one song or read one poem. Doesn’t have to be finished.
• Positive feedback only

Yes the session will be recorded for those who would like to join when they can.

Nothing prepares you for performance other than just doing it.

Done is better than perfect.

The only thing that will happen if you keep writing songs, is you'll get better. 

What have you got to lose.
