Here's a quote from Erin on the class...

" In this course we’ll work together to explore the infinite paths and foundations we resonate with and incorporate into our songwriting practice. My hope is that this space can be a poet’s playground, where we mourn and rejoice in the capture of melodies, words.. Identify structure of documentation that root us in our practice, simultaneously letting go of the work we put into the practice with an understanding of presence and nothingness, play and release. This class can be a space to explore concepts of metamorphosis along the spectrum of practical discipline, new values, playfulness, curiosity and how we can fully embody the stages we experience in our everyday practice as songwriters." - Erin Birgy

-- Testimonials from July 2022 students --

" Thank you so much, Erin! You are such an eloquent speaker and I am so grateful that I got to take a peek at your songwriting process and experience it for myself! It is so different than the way I approach songwriting (although with some similarities ;). It has been so eye opening and enriching and I am so glad I decided to come along for the ride."

" Erin! Thanks for the course! It pushed me and made me think about my approach to songwriting in a completely different way. I'm going to be reflecting on that Nietzsche essay for a long time. Be well!"

Q: What if I’ve never written a song before? Can I still participate in this workshop?
