Come together and co-create
the song for which you long
A one-day workshop
co-led by Bridget Belgrave and Jane Wheeler
Saturday June 30, 10am-4.30pm, Golders Green, North London
This day is for everyone!
No previous musical or singing experience needed.
Discover the experience of co-creating a song
that encodes what matters to you
in this magical, musical form
that will live in your heart
so you can share it
you can affirm
playfully
deeply
creatively
passionately
your heart and soul
your dreams and hopes
your struggles and suffering
a b o u t
the big issues of our time
Bridget and Jane will facilitate you to connect deeply
co-create freely and be astonished by the song that emerges when you connect.
What will happen on the day?
We’ll bring attention to what is really important to you and to others in the group, in the collective field we share – the big issues of our time. We’ll connect deeply with these issues, using NVC-based processes, and creative modalities.
We’ll transition into song-writing and Jane will guide us through the co-creation of our song(s), with her tried and tested process for collaborative song-writing.
Depending on numbers in the group, and the topics that are important to people, we will either write one song all together, or several songs each written by a small group.
We’ll sing and record the song(s), before the end of the day, and transfer the recording as an mp3 file to you, for your continuing connection with the soulful song(s) we create.
No previous experience needed
Bring yourself and your life experience. This is all you need for this day. No previous experience of music-making, singing, song-writing, or NVC is necessary.
Facilitators
Bridget Belgrave and Jane Wheeler bring together their passion for song, creativity, empathy, compassion, meditation, mindfulness, and the insights of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to provide a context for people to find connection with their deepest values through engaging in ‘Living Song’.
They co-authored ‘Connect with Respect’- a multi-media package based on ‘The Nonviolent Communication and Urban Beats Film Project’ that they ran in east London in 2004. Currently they are co-writing a children’s musical to convey key principles of NVC on stage.
Bridget runs workshops based on NVC, helping people connect to their values, be present to others, and find actions that create a better world. She has co-created NVC learning resources that are translated into eight languages. She also writes and paints.
Jane is a published song-writer and has huge experience in music education and directing youth choirs. She has a gift for midwife-ing the birth of people’s heart-songs, and a long term personal practice in non-judgmental living. Jane’s website: www.livingsong.co.uk
