Description

Led by Ryan Egan, an American singer-songwriter and producer based in Paris, this workshop introduces participants to the art of songwriting as a tool for creative expression, mindfulness, and collaboration.

Through rhythm, words, and melody, participants will explore storytelling and emotion while creating a short, original song together — guided by Ryan’s live demonstrations and supportive facilitation.
No musical experience is required. The focus is on creativity, connection, and the shared joy of creation.

Mini Sessions (15–45 min)

  • The Spark (15 min): Interactive, performance icebreaker with popular songs sung by Ryan

  • Find Your Voice (30–45 min): Write a short chorus together with guided prompts and live accompaniment

Full Workshop (60–120 min)

  • Introduction + creative warm-up (10–15 min)

  • Live songwriting demonstration and lyric creation (20–30 min)

  • Group co-writing and performance (30–60 min)

  • Optional: recording or reflection (10–15 min)

Each group leaves having written and performed a short song — a shared creative moment that strengthens collaboration and emotional awareness.

  • Encourages team cohesion through creativity and shared expression

  • Promotes well-being, listening, and communication

  • Adaptable for different group sizes and energy levels
