Spots still available for LGBTQIA+ Music Therapy Fall Series starting Oct 5th! Session dates include Oct 5th and 19th and November 2nd and 16th. Mondays from 6-7:30pm at Heart Stone Counseling in South Portland.

Come together with other LGBTQIA+ adults to share about what is arising right now in this time of seasonal change. Participants will be led through music therapy experiences as a means of processing and making meaning as a group. Experiences may include songwriting, improvisation, music listening, movement, etc. NO MUSIC SKILL OR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED! The only ask is an openness and interest in engaging in music as a healing and processing modality.

This is a 4 session music therapy series led by board certified music therapist and licensed counselor, Kelsey Raftis. Participants can choose to sign up for the full 4 session series or opt to "drop in" to the sessions of their choosing, paying per session. The per session rate is $45 or save $15 and pay for the full series at $165. If you bring a friend you can knock off an additional $10 to either the drop in rate at $35 each or $155 for the full series.

Slow Down with Slow Down the Sloth!

Our Heart Stone friend, Slow Down the Sloth, has been making his way through our offices and has now landed in the waiting area. 💚

Feel free to stop by, say hello, and take his cue: find a peaceful pause in your day. Sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need.
