SongLife Training: A Songleader Enrichment Program

Songlife Training is an opportunity for those who recognize that their spiritual life, community life and musical life are inseparable.

The Training is a call to service through music, using practical tools of guitar technique, songwriting, intuitive song creation and songleading as an interactive, expressive arts structure through which to grow.

In addition to supporting original song creation,  Michael’s three-decade repertoire of classic chants and songs (both ‘written’ and intuitively-born) provide a field of harvesting insight while developing guitar, songwriting, and songleading skills.

The program also provides an exploration of the self – bringing to light aspects which  ‘get in the way’ of a clear and beautiful delivery of one’s natural gifts, revealed and transformed through a balance of both inner and outer experiences.

Who Is It For?
SongLife Training is for individuals already experienced in the art of musical expression and songleading who wish to go deeper and further, as well as those who feel called to enter a path of musical service and deeper listening.  Some guitar skill is not required, but will help to achieve optimum benefit from the course.

More About the Program
A typical day includes contemplation and meditation together with activities of musical skill building and singing, guitar and songwriting practice (solo, in pairs and with whole group).

Our first SongLife Training is held in Assisi, Italy*.  As visitors to the original home of St. Francis and St. Clare, we may view them as embodiments of a surrendered life, thus providing inspiration on our personal journey.  *Future sessions may be in different locations
