This session focuses on emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal connection. The session begins with a live listen of a song that contains themes of spirituality and one’s spiritual journey. After McKenzie performs the song, she initiates a lyric discussion based on the lyrics of the song and the overall theme. Session members will be asked to share any initial responses they noticed while listening, specific lines that stood out while listening, and answer other specific prompting questions. This will be done in the form of group discussion.

At the conclusion of the lyric discussion, McKenzie leads members in a group songwriting initiative using the lyrics of the initial song. Powered by the original lyric discussion, session members will work together to edit the song lyrics as they collectively see fit. This can be done by adding/removing words or changing different words/phrases within the lyrics.

Once lyrics have been changed to the group’s satisfaction, McKenzie will perform the re-written song for the group. The session will conclude with a group reflection.
