Allow yourself to embrace the energies of the December Full Moon through music, inner reflection, and compassionate connection with others. To this session, McKenzie, board certified music therapist, brings her repertoire list consisting of 100 songs from a variety of genres and time periods, all of which she is able to sing and perform on guitar. Each individual who attends will be invited to choose one song from this list that they would like McKenzie to perform. After hearing their requested song performed, they will be asked to reflect upon and share with the group these 3 questions:

1. Why did you pick the song? (Ex: brings back memories, reflective of mood, you like the song or artist, etc.)

2. What emotions did you feel while listening?

3. What did you experience in your body while listening? (Ex: change in heart rate, change in breathing, tense, relaxed, chills, goosebumps, etc.)

Once they have shared their reflections, 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 to the responses of the individual who shared the song.

As December's Full Moon, also known as the Cold Moon, encourages you to look within yourself and find peace in the stillness of the present, this live music experience will give you space to connect with your emotions, your body, and with those around you.

Mats and chairs are available for use. Feel free to bring other supportive items for comfort.
