‘A song from our hearts’
Creative experiences for groups of friends or colleagues
Marking life’s milestone moments through song.
To receive a song written about you is a very special gift. ‘A Song from our Hearts’ offers space to come together with others, share memories and express appreciation for any person in the form of a song. Writing a song together to celebrate a special person is a fun, meaningful and unforgettable experience.
‘A song from our hearts’ is a full or half day workshop that supports you to create a song for someone special. This could be anything from a naming ceremony, birthday, hen do, to a memorial or funeral. You’ll be guided through the process of gathering thoughts and shaping them into a song. The day culminates in the bonding and uplifting experience of singing and recording your own song.
Whether you identify as being creative or not, whether you’ve been told you can’t sing or you’re an active member of a choir, whether you like to gather your thoughts alone or you think aloud, you will have a part to play in creating a song that expresses something unique.
Led by Emily Druce, singer song writer and music therapist with over 20 years’ experience of song-writing with others, this workshop is fun, satisfying and provides your group with the very special gift of a song to give and to keep.
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.
