I had never written a song before and in only 6 weeks I left feeling confident in my ability to write a song and deliver it in front of a group. If you have something you want to say through song and are looking for advice or inspiration in a supportive environment\, I highly recommend working with Carrie.” – V.M. 2026 \n“Before this workshop\, I had not written in so long that I was not sure if I could write anymore\, but I knew I needed some form of creativity in my life. Carrie’s perceptive way of leading the group and her prompts and methods for finding your way through a song when you feel stuck or want to experiment have been wonderful. This workshop is excellent for anyone who wants to explore or rediscover their inner artist\, and for anyone who writes and wants an inspiring environment to write with others.” – W.C. 2026
