ArtSELF: Music for Healing (Music Workshop)

You will be introduced to instruments from indigenous and ancient traditions from around the world, learning the wisdom and science behind each one before getting the chance to play them yourself. Feel the vibrations travel through your hands, open your voice through guided singing and vocal toning, and tap into a practice that humans have turned to for centuries to restore balance, find stillness, and reconnect with themselves. No musical experience is necessary. Just bring yourself and an open mind.

The Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation’s ArtSELF Arts for Wellness Workshops are designed to enhance community well-being through the power of the arts. This FREE series of 90-minute workshops offers our community a much-needed space to relax, rejuvenate, and manage stress, all while exploring creative self-care practices.

Led by skilled Teaching Artists, the workshops will introduce participants to a variety of arts-based wellness techniques, including sound healing, arts journaling, reflective theater practices, movement, and breathing exercises. These sessions not only provide relaxation but also empower individuals to adopt tools for ongoing mental and emotional wellness. The workshops are open to all, offering an exploration of new wellness practices. No prior experience is needed, and all materials are provided.
