Song of the Soul: Songwriting Workshop with Cris Williamson

SONG OF THE SOUL: A DAY-LONG SONGWRITING WORKSHOP WITH CRIS WILLIAMSON
Pre-National Women's Music Festival at the Marriott Madison West Hotel in Middleton WI.

Yes you CAN write a song. Cris will show you how!

Wednesday - July 4 10:00am - 6:00pm - $150*

Independence Day for your Creativity! Light the Fuse. Enjoy the Fireworks.

Everyone has songs living within, ready to emerge, Cris Williamson writes. The mind may say, I cannot do this. The mind may say, Im not a musician. The mind may say, I cannot sing. The mind may say, Im just too shy. These things dont matter. What does matter is coming here just as you are, and showing up to write and cast your lines deep into the stream of consciousness?

If youre a songwriter, you may already know this and be eager to hone your skills and fire up your creativity. The mind may say, This sounds so interesting, but is it for me? Even if you already are a songwriter, I assure you, its interesting, its for you, its for everyone. Beginners mind is a wonderful thing that allows all of us, beginners and advanced, to start fresh every moment, every day.

At the end of this workshop working together well have made small, beautiful things called songs. Songs are made things. And everyone can make one. It can take practice, but practice is fun and well do it together. Ive seen it happen time and again, the making of nothing into something, sound out of silence, songs out of Soul.

Yes, you can write a song. I will show you how. Come join me on July 4. Lets make our own fireworks, of the creative kind. Lets unearth new skills and make new lifelong friends. Lets dig in and surprise ourselves. Lets work hard. Lets have fun. Lets create some songs. - Cris
