Gifts of Art, Department of Social Work present free singing workshop at University Hospital

Shelley Graff will lead a singing workshop on Thursday.

Have you heard others break off from a main melody with an enchanting descant and wished to try it yourself?

A free, fun workshop on Thursday at University Hospital will give you the tools to be that singer who helps to weave stronger connections through musical harmony.

Workshop presenter and facilitator Shelley Graff is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, healer and educator. She teaches short, repetitive songs and chants from a wide variety of traditions.

While singing in a circle, participants often experience a sense of empowerment and peace as well as group connection.

Regardless of singing experience, participants are invited to share their voices in a noncompetitive, relaxed and safe space as part of Grief Awareness Month.

What: Free workshop for Grief Awareness Month

When: Noon – 1p.m., Thursday, May 9

Where: University Hospital Main Lobby, Floor 1.
