What You Will Experience:
Facilitated group games designed to foster intimacy, connection and trust.
Stress causes shallow breathing, and shallow breathing causes more stress. We will be doing some breathing practices designed to offer complete oxygen exchange, which slows down the heartbeat, removes the fight-or-flight response from the body, and replaces it with the ‘rest and digest’ response which lets the body know that we’re safe, that then reduces levels of stress hormones in the body. At the very core of who we are is music. It is and has been a method for how we heal, nourish, and amplify through the expression of it.
Simply, music is three things: rhythm, melody, and harmony. Call and response group singing designed to foster community and connection even for the most inexperienced person you’ll feel connected to the group with your unique contribution. Lead by professional singer songwriter Colin Martin.
Let go of judgments of ourselves and others to allow the music ta…
