And while we're on the topic of healing . . .
Has a song ever lifted your spirits?
Or brightened your day?
Or helped you through a rough patch?
Morrissey (of the popular 80s band, The Smiths) famously sang: ". . . don't forget the songs that made you smile, and the songs that made you cry.”
While it’s true that music can summon sad feelings or memories . . .
… it also has a tremendous capacity to heal!
So, come join us in celebrating the healing power of music!
