Connecting communities to promote healing through songwriting
Your Song is a collaborative songwriting program that connects performing arts centers, musicians, and artists with vulnerable communities to promote healing and community connectedness.
The purpose of your session is not to write a hit song. The purpose of this songwriting session is for you to go through the process of writing your story. To find your voice through song.
As a songwriter, Kyshona has had the privilege of working with adults and youth experiencing homelessness, incarceration, trauma and isolation. As a music therapist, she worked for more than 13 years in treatment facilities, rehabilitation programs, mental health facilities, forensics units, nursing homes and special needs schools. With a degree in Music Therapy from The University of Georgia and over 10 years of songwriting experience, Kyshona has merged her two worlds to focus on one mission: To be a voice and a vessel for those that feel lost, forgotten, silenced and who are hurting.
Goals and objectives for each individual’s session can range from processing trauma, unblocking creativity, building self esteem, setting goals and intentions, and stress management. These sessions will also allow you the opportunity to focus on and carve out time for yourself, your personal needs and to simply play.
Listen.
It all begins with your story and your truth. From your story, we support your words with melodies that will help others to heal. Take a moment to listen to the many songs of healing written over the past year.
This was one of the most exciting and uplifting experiences of my life. I was daunted by the prospect of songwriting but Kyshona made everything seem so easy. She encouraged me to find my voice and I would recommend the activity to anyone.
