Group Therapy
EXPRESSIVE ARTS WITH SOUND
This 4-week creative workshop is an experiential invitation to explore, establish and build a more secure sense of self through group collaborative musical expression.
An improvised musical moment is an active gesture that centers one in the present moment through contact with the emotional, resonant and abstract energy of sound. In these workshops we will be playing music with our voices, our bodies, and provided instruments. Through musical play we will experiment with building trust in ourselves and others by entering into collective cohesion and finding a sense of belonging, listening, and attunement. Listening and responding helps to build our confidence with our own voice and expression, and as we learn to trust the intuition of others, we may enter into non-ordinary states of consciousness such as trance, ecstasy, and flow, all with their own self-healing capabilities.
RECOMMENDED for participants who want to open up their expressive and intuitive qualities, build self-confidence, practice brave ways of connecting and relating with others, and mindfully explore and express yourself with non-verbal communication. This workshop welcomes anyone with anxiety, depression, creative blocks, trust issues, dissociative tendencies, attachment wounding, and those with neurodivergent systems. One does not need to be a musician to take part in this! Everyone is welcome regardless of perceived music ability.
Chris Lott, LMHCA is a therapist, musician, and former music teacher who is passionate about blending expressive arts, mindfulness, musical mysticism, improvisation, and the physics of sound.
