Expand your creative musical horizons with a contemporary master of intuitive songmaking, discovering new possibilities of musical fulfilment as you open to the 'River of Song'.

For over forty years, award-winning songwriter, filmmaker and educator Michael Stillwater has created thousands of unique 'song portraits', musical reflections of the highest intentions of people from across the world. Each of his song portraits, while inspired by one person, honors universal qualities of the human spirit- kindness, innate wisdom, and self-acceptance.

An uncommon art, intuitive songmaking bestows benefit to both practitioner and recipient. When lyrics and melody unite to reflect a person's deepest intentions for healing and empowerment, the resulting song may be comforting, inspiring and restorative.

This program provides tools and techniques, practical guidance and opportunities for sharing your gift with others.

Each session includes essential keys which have contributed to Michael's success in the art of intuitive songmaking, as well as opportunities for each participant to have their own songmaking be witnessed, appreciated and further developed.
