THERAPEUTIC SONG PROJECT

6 OR 12 WEEKS

Here’s a safe and supportive opportunity to connect around shared stories of triumph and struggle.  Over the course of 6 or 12 two hour workshops, participants will experience the healing power of creative expression through drum circles, collaborative lyric writing and recording an original song.  With the support of a Master Teaching Artist/Music Producer and Licensed Music Therapist we invite you to step into this secure circle of sharing and connection to explore new and innovative ways to feel better, increase hope and wellness and transform difficult experiences into a powerful and uplifting work of art.  The extended length of this project allows for the therapeutic process to deepen the healing experience for participants.  The project is accompanied by a therapeutic study.  Recent THREAD studies have shown an increase in feelings of connection and hope as well as a significant reduction in anxiety and stress.  

An original song is captured and recorded throughout the process with THREAD’s mobile recording studio and then professionally produced by our team offsite.  At the final workshop, participants join together for a Listening Celebration Party to hear their fully-produced original song, share their individual and collective experiences and receive a digital download, shareable link and lyric video to keep as a tangible reminder of this powerfully transformative experience! 

Benefits of multi-week projects include:

  • Helps to process difficult experiences

  • Allows the mind to relax, improving self-regulation

  • Cultivates emotional resilience

  • Fosters connection, combating isolation and feeling alone

  • Reduces anxiety and stress

  • Offers fun and enjoyment

  • Offers life-long creative tools to improve and sustain mental wellness
