📍 VENUE SPOTLIGHT | Come experience Perth with us!

With three venues nestled in the heart of beautiful Perth, Ontario, the Inspiration Symposium is giving you a little taste of this charming town as we move, learn, make music, and gather together throughout the weekend. 🎶🌿

From the Best Western Parkside Inn & Spa, to the Studio Theatre, to the Band Room at Perth Town Hall, each space will hold a different piece of our symposium experience — and we can’t wait to fill them with music, learning, connection, and YOU!

🛌 Planning to stay for the weekend? Consider booking your accommodations with the Best Western Parkside Inn & Spa or visit our website for information about other local bread and breakfasts and beyond.

Come for the inspiration, stay for the Perth charm. ✨

⏰ Two weeks left to save your seat!

What if professional development meant less sitting and listening... and more making music, experiencing, sharing, and connecting? 🎶

At the Inspiration Symposium, every presentation is designed to be at least 50% experiential — because sometimes the best way to understand the work is to experience it ourselves. ✨

Registration closes September 25th!
Come curious. Leave inspired. 💙

✨ Help us bring the dream to life ✨

The Inspiration Symposium began with a simple idea: gather music therapists together to share, experience, connect, and return to the heart of our practice. This October, that dream is coming to life in beautiful Perth, Ontario — and there’s a place for you to be part of it. 💙🎶

We’re inviting music therapy practices, associations, educational institutions, community organizations, businesses, and friends of the field to partner with us in creating this unique weekend of music therapy learning and reflection, nourishment, and connection.

Whether you’d like to sponsor a day, join us with a booth at Singspiration, advertise in our digital program, or contribute financially or in-kind, there are opportunities to participate at a variety of levels.

Your support helps us create the kind of intimate, experiential gathering we dreamed about from the very beginning — while connecting your organization with music therapists gathering from near and far.

Let’s create something inspiring together. ✨

🎶✨ SINGSPIRATION: An Open Choir Event ✨🎶

What happens when we gather, raise our voices, and find a little inspiration in one another? Why not come find out 😉

On Saturday, October 3rd, we’re opening the doors of the Inspiration Symposium and inviting the wider community to join us for an evening of song, connection, and collective music-making at the Perth Legion.

Together, we’ll learn and sing songs led by music therapists and guest artists — including Soön and The Rivermen — and experience the simple magic that can happen when a room full of people makes music together.

And when we say open choir, we mean OPEN. 💛
You don’t need to be a singer. You don’t need to read music. You don’t need any musical training at all. Bring your voice, bring your curiosity, bring a friend — and come as you are.

🎟️ Included with Inspiration Symposium registration

At the heart of Singspiration is the same thing that inspired this symposium in the first place: music has a beautiful way of bringing us together.

Come sing. Come connect. Come be inspired. ✨
