Write From the Body Program
A deep-dive into your songwriting craft, creating a writing process that feels like you, and finishing songs that you love.
12-weeks | Online
A structured, embodied 12-week journey for songwriters who want to finish more meaningful songs—consistently, without forcing inspiration.
This program will not teach you more technical skills + music theory. It's really about removing what's in the way... and building a repeatable creative practice that actually feels like you.
When we feel stuck in our songwriting, it’s typically not a problem with your skills or productivity. It's a relationship issue — potentially with a mind-body connection, your inner critic, your direction as a songwriter, or the tender, unfinished parts of yourself that are waiting to be heard.
If you've been sitting on dozens of unfinished songs... if inspiration comes in bursts and then disappears for months... if every time you sit down to write, something tightens and the words won't come—then this might be the space for you. I would love to support you in having an intimate, animate, and consistent relationship to songwriting…and a deeper sense of belonging in this world.
This program includes:
.• Weekly group calls with me to answer all your questions, receive additional training on the material, and occasional guest speakers. I customize each week differently to fit the needs of the group
.• Access to the entire Write From the Body framework + course material
.• Daily and weekly invitations, prompts, and assignments so you know exactly what you’re doing
.• Custom feedback on your songs and lyrics
.• In-between chat support from me via texts/voice memos
.• Group community space to collaborate + meet other artists
Complimentary call to discuss Thylan’s services to see if you’re a good fit for the Write From the Body program. Serious inquiries only. Thylan only accepts 5 new clients per month.
What to expect
-
Do you know that each species has a unique “acoustic niche” that has developed over millions of years? That means each species inhabits a specific frequency bandwidth to avoid overlapping with others + allows ecosystems to thrive. Soo…what does this mean for us artists/songwriters in the 21st century? What is our acoustic niche and how do we best inhabit it to support the larger conversation of the world?
This is where we start in the work. We get clear on your why — who you are as a songwriter, what you stand for, and what makes your sound irreplaceable. This becomes the foundation on which everything else is built on
-
Creativity can't flow when your body doesn't feel safe. We work on creating safety through grounding rituals and somatic practices — so songwriting stops feeling like a test you keep failing.
-
We'll identify the internal voices that sabotage your writing and learn how to create without them running the show.
-
We'll build a repeatable daily practice rooted in meditation, movement, and writing — so you show up to your songs consistently, regardless of inspiration.
-
We shift your success metric from quality to volume. More songs finished means more reps, and more reps means your craft deepens naturally — without the pressure.
-
The work doesn't end when the session does. You'll receive weekly prompts, exercises, and rituals to tend to your writing practice on your own time.
-
My goal isn’t to keep you in lessons indefinitely. I’m here to guide you toward independence—equipping you with the tools and methods to confidently sustain your sound and songwriting practice on your own.

“What would it sound like to spend a year in a forest carefully listening,
and then to,
accurately, engaging your whole body,
begin to whistle into collaborative, orchestrated biophony with the rest of the more-than-human world?”
