SONGWRITING WORKSHOP

Write Your Medicine • Create Together • Record Your Legacy
Hosted by Deva Blanchard
Casa Awänímä, Tzununá

Friday • 2:00–4:00 PM

Collaborative Songwriting Workshop + Album Feature Opportunity

About the Workshop

A song is a living imprint — a way to turn your inner world into something others can feel.
This two-hour songwriting workshop invites you into the alchemy of shared creation, guided by Deva Blanchard, artist, producer, and visionary composer.

You’ll learn how to turn emotion into melody, story into lyrics, and personal truth into medicine songs that carry your essence.
We’ll explore collaborative writing, improvisation, vocal flow, and how to trust what comes through when you write from the body rather than the mind.

No previous songwriting experience required — just openness, curiosity, and a willingness to play in the field of sound.

Why It Matters

Songwriting is a path of:

• self-expression

• nervous system liberation

• emotional integration

• storytelling

• collective creativity

After neutralizing trauma and opening the voice in the previous sessions, songwriting becomes a natural next step — a way of taking what has moved inside you and turning it into something beautiful, real, and shareable.

Your voice becomes memory, art, and legacy.

Collaborative Album Opportunity

Participants will have the opportunity to be featured on a collaborative album recorded in community.
Deva will guide the collective process and support contributions that emerge organically from the group.

This is a chance to:

• contribute your voice

• offer your lyrics

• co-write a collective song

• be part of a shared sonic creation

Your unique expression can become part of something bigger than you, held in sound.

What We’ll Explore

• songwriting as emotional translation
• lyric writing from the heart
• melody and rhythm exploration
• collaborative composition
• how to trust the first idea
• vocal improvisation and call-and-response
• harmony and resonance in groups
• turning voice into medicine

All levels welcome.
Come as you are.

What to Bring

• journal
• pen
• instrument if you have one (optional)
• a willingness to experiment
• an open voice and open heart
