October 2019 – Music As Metaphor for Life

Live With Awareness, Courage and Love (ACL) Meetup

Music as Metaphor for Life

In this ACL meet up on Saturday, 10/19/19, we will delve into what musical instruments and music mean to us, how music is a metaphor for how we relate to ourselves and others. We will explore how we use music to represent and develop who we are, how we use it as a way to communicate, to symbolize and to attribute meaning to life, how we create art with our music, and how we create music with our lives. Please bring a notebook or journal to write in.

RSVP early to ensure a spot; space is limited and we cannot always accommodate everyone who wants to attend. We usually have a nice mixture of regulars and first-timers–everyone is welcome! Bring someone you’d like to get closer to or just be open to connecting with new people :).Donation of $10 requested, but no one will be turned away due to inability to pay. ACL groups are scheduled every 3rd Saturday of the Month.
