Workshops and Away Days
‘In the Space of a Song’
Would your team benefit from being guided through a day of reflection and connection through song writing?
A song is a perfect container, where many thoughts and feelings can exist together and combine to create something unique. Many voices can join together, difficult emotions can be shaped into something new and beautiful, humour can leap out from dark places, and joy can be released. A core aim of the day is to shift from a familiar cognitive place where anxiety thrives to a more feeling, imaginative and fun place that can bring calm and clarity.
The day approaches group song writing as an act of being truly present, and connecting creatively in the moment. It is an opportunity for open reflection or pondering specific questions, for deep listening and for feeling heard. The creative process allows for the unexpected to arrive and surprise!
The day will culminate in the bonding and uplifting experience of singing your own song as a group.
No experience or confidence around music or song writing is necessary and all activities are approached with gentleness, offering creative ways to feel deeply safe in the moment. The most common feedback from these sessions is ‘I can’t believe we just did that!’

We have experience of creating emotionally safe events and supporting other organisations to do the same.
