Music Is the Bridge: Urban Voices Project with Leeav Sofer 

Kate Richards

Presented by Leeav Sofer and Kate Richards Geller. This special musical event will focus on empowering individuals to “find their voice” battling many cultural, ingrained stigmas of “I can’t sing”. With mindful practices and song, we will also address the theme of empowering providers to bring music and art into their practice both for self-care as well as for their clients, even if they are feeling that they lack the tools to do so. Finally, we will explore how this theme doubles as a means to unleash the voice of the oppressed.
