Physical Gathering — Austin, TX
the songwriting sanctuary.
Most creative spaces reward polish. The Songwriting Sanctuary rewards courage. This is a zero-cynicism room in Austin where unfinished work is not only welcome — it is the whole point.
You bring a voice memo, a half-written lyric, or a chord progression that won't resolve. Benjamin facilitates, guest mentors rotate in, and the room meets you where you are.
the rule
Zero cynicism. The inner critic is not invited. We operate on positive resonance and structural guidance. If it doesn't serve the song's life, it doesn't belong in the room.
the process
Share. Witness. Integrate. You bring the fragment; the room reflects the resonance. You leave with the momentum to finish.
the logistics
Twice monthly in ATX. Bring one song in progress, a notebook, and your acoustic instrument.
when, where, and who.
