Wil has developed his own curriculum over the years. “Speaking the Language of Music” focuses on learning music like a language.This
six-week class not only brings recovery into the music mix, it hones in on it.

Learning how to recover and learning music are related in every aspect. These paths greatly benefit from each other and Wil is here to help you learn to navigate them. We offer a new way to explore and navigate the universal language, to make it enjoyable, fun, and a lifelong journey! 

You will deepen your understanding of music, your recovery, and yourselves, while writing some great music. We will use keyboards to study music theory and then bridge that knowledge to use with other instruments.

Come be a part of this class, as there is nothing else like it on the planet!

This class gives you an opportunity to get organized and express yourself with a personalizable, expressive journaling format. 

What is bullet journaling? It’s a system to set up a journal which keeps things organized using “modules”, or different types of pages, and a legend to keep track of them!

Using this system and infusing your own creativity, you will create a journal which will help create a sense of structure, continuity, and self-expression in your

life. *All supplies Included!*

No experience necessary.  Open to those with all levels of experience in all visual mediums.
