One-on-One Personal Wellness Sessions

Many musicians find it difficult to find the time to check in with themselves: how are you coping? Where are your mental wellness levels, and what kinds of self-care do you need?

Sign up in advance or during the conference for an informal, 30-minute one-on-one coffee session where we can take time for personal reflection and process the challenges unique to your music space.

One-on-One Personal Wellness Session take place throughout the day on Saturday, Oct 21.
