Away days for frontline workers
‘In the Space of a Song’
A creative songwriting day for teams to reflect, connect and grow.
Would your team benefit from being guided through a day of reflection and connection through songwriting?
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 can thrive, to a more feeling, imaginative and playful place that can bring calm and clarity.
The day is led by singer-songwriter and music therapist Emily Druce, who approaches group songwriting as an act of being truly present and connecting creatively in the moment.
It is an opportunity for open reflection, or for pondering specific questions; for deep listening and for feeling heard. The creative process allows for the unexpected to arrive and surprise!
The day culminates in the bonding and uplifting experience of singing your own song together as a group.
No musical experience is necessary
No experience or confidence around music or songwriting 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 can also offer guided creative days, designed in consultation with your organisation.
These can combine music, movement, visual art, storytelling and nature to refresh ways of being and connect with ourselves and the world around us.
