Why music therapy?
Music can be a great way to connect with others and put words to things that can be difficult to articulate. Learning different skills as well as processing through music can all be a part of the music therapy experience. In this group techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) will be incorporated into music activities throughout the group.

Find Your Shine FAQ
Coaching Group February 12th- July 8th
1
What is the structure of this group?
Find Your Shine will meet for 6 months on the 2nd Monday of each month. During these sessions group members will have the opportunity to check in and share with the other participants. Facilitator, Alexis, will lead participants through different activities designed to further introspection and set goals in alignment with their most authentic selves.
In between zoom meetings participants can stay connected via a private discord channel where group members can share progress towards their goals and answer different questions relevant to each month's focus.
2
What are some of the topics that will be covered in FYS?
We will be going over a variety of topics such as goal setting, time management, values based living, releasing past negative beliefs, embodying confidence, and incorporating self care into your life.
3
Is there homework?
Yes, but you get to help set it for yourself. Part of the goal of this group is to help build strategies that are relevant to your life, so at each zoom session participants will set their own goals or homework that they will share with the group for accountability.
4
What time commitment should I expect?
Outside of the monthly, 90 minute zoom sessions, the discord is intended to be a place to self reflect and check in. At minimum you can expect to spend 30 minutes to an hour sharing your responses and engaging with peers, but you are welcome to spend more time engaging with others and building community.

How do I request a payment plan?
To request a payment plan, email Alexis, apolloawakeningacademy@gmail.com to request one. A $50 deposit is necessary to secure your spot, and then each participant can work out a payment plan for the remaining balance of $250 to be completed by the last zoom session in July.
