Mildura Eisteddfod Society, Mallee Arts CoLab and Iwan Soebardi’s Six String Surfing proudly present a FREE music workshop by renowned blues guitarist Nathan Cavaleri.
This is a FREE event and a "must-do" workshop for any musicians and other performers looking to conquer their fears, doubts and anxieties associated with performing - which we all go through!
Many of you will have known Nathan as the little kid who was diagnosed with leukaemia at age 6 and made a wish to meet Dire Strait’s Mark Knopfler who discovered that Nathan was a guitar child prodigy. Soon Nathan was touring the US and the world with B. B. King, Bonnie Raitt , Jimmy Barnes and Diesel. But a few years later his global fame gave way to depression, burnout and anxiety, eventually forcing him to quit playing for years.
“What followed was a profound journey of self-discovery. Through years of personal growth, deep inner work and practical learning, Nathan developed powerful tools to better understand fear, anxiety and emotional wellbeing.”
Back to the workshop , which is titled “Beyond Fear and Anxiety”…
Students will leave with practical tools and a deeper understanding of themselves.
* Better understand fear and anxiety
* Recognise what happens in the body and mind under pressure
* Reduce shame around difficult emotions
* Build greater self-awareness
* Develop healthier coping tools
* Strengthen resilience and self-belief
* Navigate challenges with greater confidence
If you’re serious about performing this FREE Workshop is invaluable. Participants will also get a 20% discount off all ticket prices to his Growing Pains show at the Mildura Arts Centre on Friday 14th August
To book a spot or register your interest text Iwan Soebardi on 0418 919 220 or email [email protected]
