Frequently Asked Questions
Closer opens with a new experience of breath and singing. Next, the two participants share music that has meaning for them at that moment, and listen to it together. Facilitated discussion ensues leading to new awareness and understanding. Closing and Q&A complete each 75-minute session.
People who want to discover or recover friendships, open their hearts and minds, and have faith/doubt or conviction/curiosity. Teens through seasoned citizens welcome!
