Transformation.
Upon participating in a online workshop facilitated by Christine Fonseca, after ONE somatic writing exercise; I wrote a brilliant song.
The thing is, it was so easy.
I realized "Writer's Block" is complete bullshit. If you are not where you want to be with writing, performing, playing, producing; Whatever your Bailiwick, it's because your body is blocked.
Informed by the School of Somatic Arts, this work is deeply informed by a multi-modality somatic approach to body based healing.
You may be saying to yourself "I get it, though I don't think I can do this" - that's where I am here to guide you, my friend
"What will your friends think?" - They will be asking you how your work is so aligned and how you've reached a new level and more importantly: Transformed.

This IS for you if:
You are experiencing “writers block “, just starting out the artist's journey of embodying a songwriter, or ready to enhance your writing/creations as a professional musician. This is work done from the inside out, and you are ready to shift your identity into a new version of yourself.
This is NOT for you if:
You are looking for a quick fix, a “hack” to songwriting or not ready to shift how you perceive yourself, your art, your internal/external world or not ready to heal and do the work when things get "hard" or the not so pretty stuff is revealed.
How It Works:
We meet online eight times every two weeks and there is one support via Telegram while on the journey!
