We make art, and we make a difference! @CalArtsCouncil is supporting our work through their JumpStArts program. http://tiny.cc/CACGrantees2021 #ArtsCA Check out the official announcement here!
Rhythmic Mind (RM) and Today’s Future Sound (TFS) are proud to announce that we were awarded $50,000 grant to sustain our current Advanced Narrative Therapeutic Songwriting (ANTS) / #HipHopTherapy program in combination with TFS‘ #TherapeuticBeatMaking (TBM) program in the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center.
This year’s increased funding will allow for even more comprehensive programming. This not only allows twice-weekly TBM sessions for the units where TFS have worked since 2016, but in addition a select group of youth will be able to engage in an in-depth process of rhymewriting/songwriting involving the re-authoring of their personal narratives and recording of original collaborative songs. The ANTS program, led by Rhythmic Mind, integrates mindfulness, visualization, and a host of other therapeutic modalities, informed by the most current trauma research and practice delivered through a #strengthbased culturally-responsive approach.
