Exploring the Power of Music in Healing Grief

Music is a universal language with the capacity to help us cope with loss, acting as a container for our grief and helping us express painful or confusing emotions. Whether traditional or contemporary, spiritual or secular, music conveys psychological, emotional and spiritual tenets that illuminate the qualities, cycles, and characteristics of grief and loss. This seminar will use music’s lyrics, melody, and composition to explore the topography of grief.
