Songwork Gathering: Sing Back Hope!

Songwork is a practice of group singing to build community, hold space for life-affirming conversations, and help people reconnect with local ecosystems.

The ‘TLC’ approach to songwork, developed by Dr Ash Brockwell, uses songs to bring people together through circles of Talking, Listening and Co-Creating. The Circle of Talking is a sharing circle in which participants can be present with their own and other people’s emotions, without judging or attempting to ‘fix’ them, and the Circle of Listening provides an opportunity for quiet reflection. The Circle of Co-Creating helps participants work together to bring something new into being – whether it’s an artwork, a strategy, an event plan, a vision, or just a shared sense of purpose.

This will be an experiential session that you can join online or in person. We invite you to sing if you feel ready, hum along with the tune, or just listen to the songs and join the conversation.
