Walk in Beauty: Reawaken your senses to the natural world as you recharge your creative spirit. Explore the myriad ways Nature inspires creativity and rejuvenates in this experiential workshop. This hands-on workshop awakens the spirit through poetry and music inspired by nature.

Inspirations for the Creative Spirit

Explore the myriad ways that music, poetry and visual art can spark the imagination and inspire the creative process. In this playful and participation based workshop, participants will view works of art and respond to them by creating their own music, poetry and prose.  No prior experience is necessary to join in this journey of discovery to welcome the artist within.

Music Improvisation

 This is a FUN workshop! Throw away the sheet music and bring your instrument for an inspiring session of music making in a supportive atmosphere. Improvisation is a moment to moment experience which allows a musician to take a leap from the familiar into the unknown. Improvisational techniques developed by the Music for People curriculum will allow students to explore their own musical possibilities. All instruments and voices welcomed.

A Singing Circle 

The first two instruments are the human heart (source of all rhythm) and the voice. Come join the group in a joyful hour of singing a variety of chants, songs, rounds and sounds. Feel free to bring your own song or round to teach and present to the circle. No musical experience required.
