The Song Writer's Forest
How do you write songs in a hostile world? How do you build a creative practice that feels nourishing and generative rather than extractive and stressful? Amanda and June will take you on a walk through your personal woods, discussing how to gather images, observe and tend the land, and build a relationship with your inner self, even when it’s frightening. This is a songwriting class with the barest of tools: your voices, alone or in a group.
We’ll be doing a few small teacher-led exercises with the intention of having you leave with some musical practices, lyrical ideas, and images you can pull from even after the class is over.
This is a class intended for beginning to intermediate songwriters, but we welcome all levels. You will bring yourself and a notebook as well as your preferred writing tools. If you are able to, make sure that you have a recording application on your phone available to you.
