Singing workshop with Chandra Grover.
Join us for a relaxed and creative singing workshop! We’ll begin with a fun warm-up to get voices and bodies moving, then dive into learning the chorus of a brand-new piece of music. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of the song’s development and to help shape how it comes to life. No previous experience is needed—just bring your voice, your enthusiasm, and a willingness to explore something new.

Writing for Wellbeing
​
Writing is a powerful way to support well-being. In this workshop, I guide you through simple but effective activities and techniques you can take home with you to explore this often under-used “gift at our fingertips”. You do not need any previous experience, and while we may share thoughts and ideas, we don’t share our writing – this is for you. Come along and be inspired!
