Spiritual Journey Songwriting - Virtual Session

$25.00

Thursday, August 7th, 5:00 - 6:30pm (CST)

Virtual Session via Google Meets

This session will focus on emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal connection. The session will begin by listening to a song that contains themes of spirituality and one’s spiritual journey. After McKenzie performs the song, she will initiate a lyric discussion based on the lyrics of the song and the overall theme. Session members will be asked to share any initial responses they noticed while listening, specific lines that stood out while listening, and answer other specific prompting questions. This will be done in the form of group discussion.

At the conclusion of the lyric discussion, McKenzie will lead members in a group songwriting initiative using the lyrics of the initial song. Powered by the original lyric discussion, session members will work together to edit the song lyrics as they collectively see fit. This can be done by adding/removing words or changing different words/phrases within the lyrics. Once lyrics have been changed to the group’s satisfaction, McKenzie will perform the re-written song for the group. The session will conclude with a group reflection.

Session FAQs

Why isn’t the song that we’ll be focusing on shared ahead of time?

We are focusing on “in the moment” connection. If you come pre-planned with points you’d like to talk about, your responses will likely feel scripted and/or inauthentic to other session members. This will make it difficult to experience interpersonal connection and connection to the experience in the moment.

I feel like my spiritual journey is different from that of others in the group. What if I feel nervous or uncomfortable sharing?

If this is the case, take a moment to reflect and remember that others are likely feeling the same way! If you are signing up for this session, it is more than likely because you are looking for connection. Everyone’s spiritual journey is different but you can still be present to support one another through the similarities and differences. So many people are looking for support and connection. Beautiful things can happen when you open yourself to those moments!

Do I need to be a musician or “good” at music?

Absolutely not! All that is required is a love of music and a willingness to be open to sharing your experiences and the experiences of others without judgment. A willingness to push yourself outside of your comfort zone will also serve you well - these are the moments where the greatest growth and connection occur!
