You may only be at the beginning of your career, yet already feel the pressure of having to do it all. The music industry is full of creative opportunities – but also uncertainty and competition that can challenge your mental wellbeing as an artist.

That is why we invite you to join us for a workshop, communal dinner, and conversation café focused on mental health, sustainability, and healthy working habits in a supportive community of fellow emerging artists.

Workshop facilitator Cecilia Krill has advised hundreds of musicians and will share three common pitfalls every artist should know if they want to make an impact without burning out – along with one important truth about genuine courage.

Together, we will explore what it means to take responsibility for yourself, embrace vulnerability, recognise your strengths, and stay grounded in an industry that can feel overwhelming, even for experienced musicians. You will leave with practical tools for building healthy routines, managing self-doubt, and navigating challenges without unnecessary stress, so you can pursue your passion in a healthy and sustainable way.

The conversation café will create space for dialogue, questions, connection, and good vibes. No prior experience is needed – everyone is welcome.
