Sonic Alchemy - A Garage Band Guided Song-Making

Feb 13th, 2026 | 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM
📍 Meraki Spaces
4502 Cass St, Second Floor, San Diego, CA 92109

Over 30+ instruments to experiment with!

Sonic Alchemy is a guided sound and song-making experience designed to help participants explore emotion, creativity, and presence through music as expression — not performance.

Hosted at Meraki Spaces, this workshop blends intuitive music-making, group sound exploration, and gentle creative structure to support emotional release, focus, and connection. No musical background is required.

Using a mix of digital tools (GarageBand, loops, effects) and acoustic instruments, participants are invited to listen, play, experiment, and create freely in a safe, supportive environment.

This is not about writing the “perfect song.”
It’s about letting sound move through you.
