Music and Song for Comfort, Healing and Spiritual Expression.
Facilitator, Craig Werth, will invite participants to express themselves through music and song as we consider the role of music in our lives as a form of spiritual practice.
Craig will bring examples of instruments that require no experience to make amazing sounds with and participants will have the opportunity for some experimental play.
Those who wish to will contribute to the creation of a new set of song lyrics that draw us toward hope and gratitude.
No particular experience or “talent” necessary. All are welcome, just as you are – welcome to come sing, and/or soak in the waves of community expression.
