Stories and songs are powerful ways to gain insights about our lives and pass on our truths to others.
Over the years, I’ve facilitated workshops utilising storytelling and music practices that empower participants to discover and express meaning and purpose in our journeys.
These transformative workshops are:
- designed for a group size of 8-15 youths OR 8-15 young adults
- customisable according to the organisation’s mission
- carried out over a period of 2 days to a few months, depending on the participants involved
Participants do not need to have formal music theory or storytelling knowledge.
