Community Monthly Mixtape Project & Community Music Therapy Gathering
Join us each month as we follow the theme and intention that carries us through our group sound work in a format that uses community collaboration to connect with a greater reach. Inviting ideas, new experiences, new perspectives, and unifying acceptance. Through this project we remember that sound works in many ways - the organization and expression that music gives can be equally as powerful as sound integration work; particularly when driven by a unifying intent.
​
What's in it for you? A resource available (for free!) for you to use and reflect on when you need it. A chance to be part of an intentional, judgement-free community project designed to lift us all higher and give us an outlet for expression. A place to listen and a place to be heard.
​
Monthly themes will be shared below - song contributions can be shared via facebook, instagram, or email. Mixtape song lists and a Spotify playlist will be shared at the end of each month. (Songs will simply be listed - I will not be sharing the names of those who share them. If you want to include a sentence or two about why the song relates for you, I will include it with the song list, but this is not necessary!)
​
MONTHLY MIXTAPE MEETUP! Join us in person at the end of each month to gather, create community connection, and discuss the theme and song selections even more in depth. In this opportunity for connection we will share and listen to the songs that were compiled to the monthly mixtape, discuss the theme & intent, and open up channels for perspective shifts, chances to be heard, and supportive acceptance. Time will also be provided for anyone who wishes to share anything related to the monthly theme (songs, poems, artwork, food, etc., etc., etc.) or to simply sit back and just be. Picture the magic of lying on your teenage bedroom floor listening to your favorite tunes combined with sharing unique and new themes and perspectives. Like a book club, but music.
​
The only "rules":
1. No judgement - you don't have to like a song or a genre to take the intent or emotion of the choice. This is an amazing opportunity to practice discernment, widen perspectives, and maybe even surprise yourself!
2. Understand that this list is for anyone & everyone - please use your best judgement when sharing a song. Explicit lyrics will be considered based on lyrical intent and flow, and will always be offered as a side list for exploration with each mixtape even if they do not make the official playlist.
3. Your experience and perception is yours alone - there is a reason your song selection fits for you. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to dive deeper!​

CURRENT PROJECT
June 2026: Vulnerability & Strength

Welcome visitors to your site with a short, engaging introduction.
Double click to edit and add your own text.
June's theme is: VULNERABILITY & STRENGTH
​
Vulnerability: noun: a weakness in the protections or defenses surrounding one; the ability to feel and perceive in a raw state​​
Strength: noun: the capacity to resist attack;
the state or quality of being strong
​
Following the energy of the moment,
the theme for June's Community Mixtape is VULNERABILITY & STRENGTH.
​​
Question of the month:
Are these words actually opposites?
or...
Do we need one in order to AUTHENTICALLY
and effectively EXPERIENCE and embody the other?
​
Is the essence of true humanity the balance of both?
​
This month, I encourage you to reflect on your personal relationship with both VULNERABILITY and STRENGTH.
What is your PERSPECTIVE of the meaning of these qualities?
How does it feel to view them from another angle?
To view them as necessary companions?
​
How comfortable do you feel ALLOWING yourself to be VULNERABLE?
​
When you grow from a space of VULNERABILITY,
do you feel an increase in personal STRENGTH?
​
How much STRENGTH does it take to get VULNERABLE?​
​
Is there a song that represents the idea
of VULNERABILITY & STRENGTH for you?
Either as separate experiences
or that power that comes when they work in tandem?
One that speaks to the definition of the words?​​​
One that represents how you embrace
your own VULNERABILITY & STRENGTH?
​
The challenges that come with these qualities?
​
What you hope to embody for your own experience?
​
Is there simply a song that you just really like
with VULNERABILITY or STRENGTH in the theme or title?
​
As always, this theme can show up differently for everyone - I encourage you to embrace it, trust yourself, and show your originality. Song shares remain anonymous unless you choose to share at the Mixtape Music Therapy Gathering. Share and listen with an open mind, open heart, and welcome those perspective shifts! We're all in this together - you're never alone.
​
There are no rights or wrongs - this is uniquely your outlet within a collective community experience. Any song at all that resonates with this theme or simply feels like it may relate.
If you have a song that feels like it fits - send it my way!
(As this is project has a large & varied reach,
songs with overly explicit lyrics & themes are always welcome,
but may be listed as honorable mention)
​
Message me via email, facebook or instagram and I will compile a list throughout the month.
PLEASE HAVE ALL SONGS SUBMITTED BY JUNE 27
The June Community Mixtape Music Therapy Gathering
will be on Sunday, June 28 from 5-7pm
at the Center at 8 Branches
Thanks for joining in - have fun!
