Programming Choices

1) Sense of Place Concerts & Keynotes

Erica’s concerts provide a fun, soulful and meaningful a journey of place-centered song, story, and conversation.

These programs invite people to slow down, reconnect with what matters. They also help people discover new connections to the places they call home and gain a sense of place, belonging and community wherever they are.

Ideal for community events, libraries, arts organizations, celebrations, and special gatherings. Perfect for concert halls to campfires.

2) Sense of Place Writing Workshops

Everyone has stories of place and belonging waiting to be discovered. This workshop helps participants find theirs and bring them to life.

Through guided writing prompts, sensory awareness practices, and storytelling exercises, participants explore meaningful experiences rooted in a time and place.

Along the way, they uncover memories, insights, and story ideas they may not have realized they carried.

No writing experience is necessary. For all genera.

Participants often leave with fresh writing, renewed creativity, new story ideas, and a deeper connection to themselves, their surroundings, and the people and places that matter to them.

3) Guided Sense of Place Walks & Saunters

Slow down. Notice more. Experience familiar places in a new way.

Each walk is tailored to the landscape, season, community, and setting in which it takes place.

Erica weaves together story, sensory awareness, local history, conversation, and moments of quiet observation to create a memorable experience of place

She draws on decades of working with parks, museums, cultural sites connecting people and places to create a restorative and immersive customized experience.

4) Vision Board in a Box™ Workshop

A creative workshop for anyone ready to pause, reflect, and explore what is calling for attention next.

No artistic experience is required.

Participants leave with practical tools for reflection, creativity, and personal exploration, along with a completed project to take home.
