Creative Session: Songwriting with Guided Imagery

Creative Song Writing With Guided Imagery is a process by which the songwriter is supported to access the creative images, ideas and inspirations in our deep unconscious influenced by the development of the self in our life journey.

Who this is for: Those with an interest and natural proclivity to explore themselves, their identity, their life experiences and personal stories in the creativity forms of poetry and lyrical writing or automatic writing.

Intention: This is the your reason, your why and the impact you wish to leave on others by putting into this creative form some life story or experience you would like to share and give to others (to contribute to the collective of lived wisdom and insights that we all can learn and grow ourselves from)

What is the process: Song writing is akin to writing poetry but it is put to music. In this 1.5 hour workshop participants will identify a life topic or theme that has emerges in their life that has emotional significance or has left such a strong impression that they are motivated to explore the color, the tone, the qualities, the metaphors, symbols, thoughts and moments of that life experience or story. Then to convey that emotionally moving experience via words, thought symbols and imagery into lyrical form and prose.

How: Participants will be guided on an inner journey using a breath and sensory mindfulness practice with the aid of a linking image that supports their capacity to listen to and connect with their inner muse/creative energy source while listening to a selection of classical music that will support their ability to be creative, resourceful and whole.

This session will be facilitated by Senses Mindfulness Coaching and a therapeutic arts practitioner from LOUD Art Society. Looking forward to seeing you!
