How the Song Came to Be with Anne Heaton - Episode 8 - Celebration Song
In today's episode, Anne shares the story behind her "Celebration Song," how MLK and Thich Nhat Hanh's friendship inspired her as well as how the Creativity Key of Connection has helped her tell stories. In the second half, Anne shares a very personal creativity & songwriting exercise that led her to write some of her favorite songs. This exercise is also a super big stress reliever and way to practice self-compassion, so grab a cup of tea, your favorite journal and some markers/pens and join us!
Anne Heaton has captured audience imaginations for over fifteen years with her songs that are, by turns, "tender, barbed and spiritual" (Washington Post). She's been featured by the New York Times Popcast (who called her music "absolutely gorgeous"), played numerous times on NPR and shared the stage with artists such as Jewel, Sarah McLachlan and jazz drummer Max Roach.
