CONCERTS, TALKS AND WORKSHOPS
For a cosy concert in a home setting...
For a formal event in need of a special guest...
For a workshop integrating music & learning on a particular theme...
Once described as Charlie Chaplin meets Leonard Cohen, Brett Robin Wood traverses the deeply serious to the hearty laugh (sometimes, strangely, both at once).
“When I first met Brett his gentle but insightful approach impressed me and I was especially fascinated by his use of song… It touched me in a new way, so much so that I invited Brett to present a session at the 2021 Columbia Coaching Conference, where his musical delving explored new frontiers for coaching and development.”
- Liane Kemp, Founder, Kemp Street Partners

He creates a safe space, one in which you feel totally at ease to dig deeper within yourself in order to gain those insights that really allow you to develop. Brett has an amazing ability to do this not only in individual sessions but also in large group leaders sessions. His impact is long lasting. Thank you Brett.”

Theological/Spiritual focused events
”What should such fellows as we do, crawling between earth and heaven?” - Hamlet
Brett’s song-smithery and conversation often takes place at the intersection of mystery and daily life-on-the-ground, as we struggle with human folly and long to unfold our divine potential.
Brett Robin Wood’s content and style is well suited to events with a theological / spiritual focus. He opens the space for the rational mind, the feeling heart, the felt-sense of the body to all join in to the communion of souls who look to love and learn.
LITERARY GATHERINGS
Brett Robin Wood’s song-smithery is largely narrative and poetic, and sits well in settings where poetry and literature are the focus. Like poetry, Brett’s music works as an interface with the unconscious, building intimacy with the inner life without effort and through the joy of the lyrical.
“Brett is a pioneer in the field of creativity and its potential. He transmits the essence of tapping into our creativity and letting it flourish.”
