You Are a Promise

The group began with several musical games and activities to get warmed up and acquainted with the instruments. One group member shared that they play the guitar, and chose the ukulele as their main instrument. Another group member shared that they enjoy singing and using their voice. Group members laughed and connected throughout the exercises. One group shared that it required a lot of focus to play the instrument and listen to everyone else at the same time. The group then moved into two free improvisations, one with words of intent and one completely free. The words chosen included peace, calm, and happiness. One group member shared after the improvisation that it felt good to find their own groove. The group then moved into a song share where each participant was invited to select a song of meaning and share it with the group. The group listened to three songs from different group members. The pieces of music brought up different emotions for different group members. The group engaged in discussion to process emotions and support one another. The remaining songs will be played next week.
