Participate in a Songwriting Session
We can't wait to help you craft a personal lullaby that tells the story of you and your family! If you enjoy music and want to process emotions around pregnancy, childbirth, or loss and deepen your connection to yourself and/or your baby, this program is for you.
None of our services are clinical in nature. Instead, they are creative experiences centered around storytelling and songwriting. Our musicians are trained in trauma-informed care and prepared to support those who have experienced birth trauma, have lost a child, or are giving birth under challenging circumstances. Children and partners are welcome to attend the sessions as well.
​
We offer three different types of sessions depending on what your experience has been and what you are looking for. All sessions are free to attend thanks to our generous supporters.

General Information
There are two main elements to each Lullaby Project cycle: the Songwriting Workshop and the Celebration Concert.
​
The Songwriting Workshop:
Songwriting workshops are a mix of group and individual work. You will meet the other parents in your group and we'll go through a few musical activities to warm up and get to know each other.
We'll then breakout into individual sessions, where you'll work with one or two musicians to create your song. We will create lyrics, so know that lyric writing is a part of the process. If this sounds intimidating, don't worry! There are a variety of ways you can create your song, and it's ok if you have no idea what you want it to be. That's what we're here for.
​
We will have snacks and/or a meal provided, depending on when the session is held. The workshop will end with another group sharing circle where everyone can share as much or as little as they'd like about their experience with the songwriting.
​
The Celebration Concert:
*At this time, your celebration concert might not happen immediately after your session.
​
This is an informal gathering in which we all come together to share the songs we've created! You'll get to meet participants from the other songwriting workshops, and invite friends and family to join as well. We will record your songs at this time as well so you have a hard copy to take home with you.
