This session will focus on emotional, body, and interpersonal connection. McKenzie will arrive with a list of 100 songs from a variety of genres and time periods, all of which she is able to sing and perform on guitar. Each member of the session will be asked to choose one song from this list that they would like McKenzie to perform. After hearing your requested song, you will be asked these questions:
Why did you pick the song? (Ex: brings back memories, reflective of mood, you like the song or artist, etc.)
What emotions did you feel while listening?
What did you experience in your body while listening? (Ex: change in heart rate, change in breathing, tense, relaxed, chills, goosebumps, etc.)
Once you have shared your responses, McKenzie will offer space for the other group members to share their responses to the music as well. This could include sharing things they noticed within themselves or connecting with you on some of the things that you shared. The session will end once all group members have requested a song and shared.
This is a private session available only to Summit Woods residents.
