Orit Shimoni has released 12 highly reputed albums and has written many more songs still to be recorded. A former educator and a true believer in the importance of eloquent expression! “Orit knows how to translate what is going on in the world into words and music with great precision and accuracy." - Rootstime Music

WHY A WORKSHOP?

Whether you've been a songwriter for many years, or have never written a song, (and don't even know if you want to!) -  Songwriting has a great deal to offer everybody, with tools for  processing our selves and the world around us, to find our inner voice, find out what it is we want to (or need to) say,  and to find a way to express ourselves!

For several years, Orit has offered a class she calls "Chiseling the Truth" -  Where she shares the tips and secrets she has honed for years as a songwriter to help us get to the core of our expression.

Offered in group settings or in one-on-one mentoring sessions, or both! -  (one on ones can also be done over Zoom) - Whether you're half-way through writing something and want some guidance or have no idea where to even begin, Orit's experience as a teacher and educator make her a sensitive and caring instructor that brings joy and humour to the process as well as safe, emotional support to one's process of uncovering their inner sentiments.

It's Therapeutic!

Many of us already think of music as therapeutic, have been soothed or inspired by a beautiful melody, a solid groove, a great line of lyrics that resonated with us deeply.  But how does that magic work? And why is it so important to our well-being?   In this fun, interactive, and uplifting workshop, Orit uncovers the roots of empathy, self-awareness, and compassionate listening that are present in all of us, and which have been the driving force behind her own career as an educator and musician.  You do not need to be a musician to understand, enjoy, and employ the many benefits of rhythm, sound, creative focus, and authentic verbal expression.   Come and find out how to tap into it, and reap the benefits!
 

It's Eye Opening!

 One of the biggest gifts that songwriting workshops have to offer, is that they open up a channel of expression in us we might not have even been aware of!
Over years of both doing her own songwriting and facilitating workshops for others, one of the biggest takeaways has been that there are big surprises in what comes out!

The methods Orit uses in her class help uncover the internal sentiments and narratives that we carry deep within!

Once discovered, she helps to form the most articulate and impactful version of it!

It's Heartwarming!

The most beautiful part of the group workshops is that we hear and encourage each other's articulations.
Whether people are sharing something funny about the hole in their socks, or a deeper more personal grief or anxiety, the workshop fosters a space where communal expression allows us to get to know each other in greater depth and with better empathy.

In the one on one sessions, this same compassion unfolds in the form of self acceptance and self love!
