Lean In To The Magic of Songcatching

Join music & creativity coach and renowned songcatcher Amanda West for an engaging workshop, where participants will:

🌟Explore the mystery and magic of catching songs
🌟Practice opening up your creative channels for receiving inspiration
🌟Clarify when and how to listen, and when and how to craft
🌟Bring song seeds to workshop together in real time

In this interactive workshop participants will practice embodied remembering, community weaving and birthing songs. Beginning with vocal and somatic exercises to free creative energy, we will discuss approaches to listening for song seeds, and ways to consider working with them once they’ve arrived.

There will be opportunity to bring your partially completed songs to the group to workshop in real time. Come away feeling empowered to step more fully, or for the first time, into the role of a song catcher.

Wednesday, March 12th, 10am-12pm Pacific Time.

  • Connect with other songcatchers in a supportive container.

  • Create an embodied connection with your body, learning what songs it holds and how you may the carry them forth.
