Unlock Your Muse: Songwriting x Spells

  • Old Town School of Folk Music 4544 North Lincoln Avenue Chicago, IL, 60625 United States (map)

Step into your inner enchantress and discover the power of music as magic in this mystical 90-minute songwriting workshop. Led by singer-songwriter and songwriting mentor Dana Marie, this session blends lyric writing with intention-setting and spellcraft — just in time for Halloween.

In this special edition of Unlock Your Muse, we’ll explore the idea that songs are spells — each word a wand, each melody a mirror. Through guided journaling, poetic prompts, and imagination-fueled exercises, you’ll write your own “spell-song” — a piece that channels your desires, healing, and deepest truths.

This is your invitation to turn inward, tune in, and conjure a song that moves energy and makes magic. No prior songwriting experience needed — just your voice, your heart, and your willingness to be enchanted.

What to expect from a 90-minute Unlock Your Muse workshop:
• Explore songwriting as ritual, manifestation, and emotional alchemy

• Write from the archetype of the spell-caster—the visionary, the mystic, the muse

• Receive songwriting / poetry prompts to unlock your own spell-song

• Share in a circle of creative women who are calling their power back through art

Leave feeling inspired, expressed, and spellbound by your own voice.

Please bring:

• A journal and something to write with

• An instrument (if you play)

• Optional: Dress with witchy flair — think velvet, lace or something magical!
