Transformation.
Upon participating in an 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.
We learn in community, that's why I am bringing this Workshop to Festivals, Events and Conferences with the intent for participants to become aligned reach a new level and more importantly: Transform.

The Details
Sessions that integrates somatic awareness, SIT, music and writing
Dropping into the body - The body keeps the score and the truth. We introduce somatic awareness, somatic experiencing and resonance mapping. We outline group expectations, do some participant intros and general housekeeping for the session.
10 minutes in duration.
The Story Behind the Song - What are the limiting beliefs around writing or performing or expressing oneself creatively? Daisy takes the group through a SIT Session to re-pattern those old stories that keep us looped in a behaviour or belief that doesn't serve us.
75 minutes in duration
When I Play This... - Here we focus on deep awareness of frequency, resonance and tone when we hear different sounds, keys and notes.
10 minutes in duration.
Parts of a Song Workshop - Daisy guides you through three writing exercises to experience a deep sense of physicality and safety in which to create from. Participants then write a song in a group or independently and perform what is created for the collective.
75 minutes in duration.
Ideally, this is a 3 hour Workshop. Daisy is happy to provide these sessions within two days or as independent offerings, depending on event timelines.

Parts of a Song - Here we learn how to write verses, choruses, pre-choruses, and bridges and understand how each section serves a function, purpose and intent. We will use IFS to mine information from our bodies to understand our parts deeper so we leverage them for great writing. Participants will be encouraged to share one of their favourite songs and explain why they chose it.
Online & In-Person: 90 minutes in duration.
