Nature Inspired Songwriting & Soundwalk

Join award-winning, local musician Freya Milliken and guests for a one-of-a-kind group non-songwriters’ experience. Take a deep-listening walk in the Wabanaki (Acadian) forest to absorb the sights, smells and  sounds. Then, return to the community hall, to share your reflections and experiences and make some fun music out of it!

Experience Highlights:

• Engage your senses on a deep-listening walk in the Annapolis Valley: Take in sights, smells, and especially the sounds of flora, fauna, wind, and water in the beautiful Wabanaki-Acadian forest.
• Discover the music we all have inside of us with the help of expert guides in a relaxed and un-intimidating way.
• Access ukuleles, shakers, and other percussion instruments or bring your own instrument if you’re able.
• Have fun as we create a new song together, with a digitally edited and mixed version to be shared with everyone.
• Get to know Music in Communities Cooperative a non-profit that strives to promote music literacy, present great live music, support under-represented voices, and strengthen communities through shared musical experiences.
