Join us Saturday March 22, 2:30-4:30pm — 3511 Gallatin Pike, Nashville

In the first hour, we’ll focus on creative wellness—how to sustain your artistic practice, protect your creative energy, and stay inspired. This section will also feature a Somatic Care Session led by certified Somatic Experiencing (SE) Practitioner, Rachel Moore-Beard. In the second half of the gathering, we’ll host a "No Dumb Questions" session, where attendees can anonymously submit questions about anything related to their craft — gear set-ups, recording technology, booking gigs, business questions, anything! Whether you're wondering about the best mic for your voice, how to EQ a track, or what DAW to start with, this is your chance to ask and learn in a welcoming, supportive environment. As we wrap up, we'll discuss ways Girls Write Nashville can support our adult artist community in the future. This gathering will be facilitated by Girls Write Nashville Executive Artistic Director/Co-founder, Jen Starsinic.

This event is free and open to up to 25 participants. Pre-registration is required.

Please note: The event has a focus on the lived experience of adult women artists. All Girls Write Nashville programming is unequivocally welcoming to trans, non-binary and gender-expansive people. All are welcome! 

Resonance is presented by Girls Write Nashville with generous support from the Tennessee Entertainment Commission and Live Nation Women, who are committed to empowering women in music.
