Mission Statement
Songwriting for Wellness offers an opportunity to work through thoughts and feelings about life experiences in a supportive environment. Led by an award-winning songwriter, Songwriting for Wellness promotes resilience, healing, and self-care.
Description
For over a decade, Murray Foster performed in the popular Newfoundland band Great Big Sea. When the band retired in 2014, he founded Toronto Songwriting School to share his experience and songwriting knowledge with developing songwriters.
Across Toronto Songwriting School workshops and in programs with more vulnerable members of the community, it was evident that songwriting was a powerful tool in processing life experiences, grief, and trauma.
We began to develop additional supportive programming for individuals dealing with mental health challenges and trauma-exposed workplaces, and Songwriting for Wellness was born.
