NOW OPEN - Winter 2026 Craft Your Courage Song Program
3 Pillars of the Craft Your Courage Song Program
Reclaim your voice in a world that profits from your silence.
This is about awakening your inner artist — not to perform, but to feel alive, expressive, and self-led.
Create instead of consume. Express instead of escape.
We heal in community. Through co-creation, group song circles, and musical "bands," you’ll find meaningful connection and build lasting creative kinship.
No more hiding. No more doing it alone.
Your voice isn’t just personal — it’s planetary.
When you write and share your courage song, you join a global movement of artists, healers, and peacebuilders.
Sound travels. Truth echoes. Your song matters.
Who this Program is Designed for...
"Closet Musicians"
If you have instruments that are gathering dust, this program will get you playing again. Whether your musical growth edge is to finish one of your song ideas, to write your first original or form your first "band," you'll get the inspiration to break through you need in this group.
"Non-Musicians"
This is in quotes because, actually, there's no such thing. If you can talk, you can sing, if you can write, you can make lyrics and if you can walk and breath, you have rhythm. The best songs often come from a single melody, lyric, or rhythm. Are you bold enough to claim your birthright as a musical being?
"Creative Change-Makers"
If you are already on your path of artful living, building community and living your purpose, but you recognize that your practice is missing the power of voice and song, this is a great lab for you to practice integrating music into your "work." Your Courage Song may end up becoming your movement's anthem!
"Musical Mystics"
If you're one of the fine folks who recognize that we are entering into a new age of being (i.e. Age of Aquarius, end of Kali yuga, etc.) then you know that it's time to employ any tool that moves us from the material to the energetic. There is no more potent practice than activating your voice and authentic expression and this program will fully support you in dialing in your vibe.

Absolutely. While the Studio in the Woods is not a "pro" music studio per se, great songs are produced there. The studio has an R3 Mini Korg synth, MPC One sampler, quality condenser vocal mics, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, electronic drum kit (no live kit), hand percussion, and plug-ins and FX for days. Listen to the portfolio of past Courage Songs below for a reference.

Week 5-6: Record - Book your 2-hour studio session (in-person or virtual)
Week 7: Finish and Showcase - Complete your 2 rounds of revisions, get the final mixed and mastered version of the song (included), and either perform or press play at the showcase.

Courage Song Portfolio
Flow Zeda
songstress, mother, community builder
This is the third song I’ve created with Andrew, and each time it gets better.
What I appreciate most is how deeply he listens — not just to the music, but to me. He checks in often throughout the process, and I always feel like my voice is being honored.
He helps me dial in the exact sounds I’m imagining (especially with guitar tones!), and never gives unsolicited feedback — just thoughtful support when I ask for it.
Working with him feels creative, safe, and easeful. I always walk away feeling proud of what we made together.
This song is mixed and mastered by Andrew.
Daryn B
entrepreneur and muse
From Daryn: "Before working with Andrew, I had always been the kind of musician who could never write a whole song. I’d come up with a few lines and a chord progression here and there, write it down somewhere, write it off as not being any good, and quickly forget about it.
"I only have 2 completed original songs and Andrew is the one who coaxed them out of me. Andrew helped me realize that the process of song-writing is not as daunting as I had previously thought. It’s about finding patterns in the music and stringing them together. Andrew is a proficient producer, not to mention a multi-instrumentalist who is able to flesh out an organized musical landscape based off of a simple jam session."
This song is mixed by Andrew and un-mastered.
Fitzy
Musician and ceremonialist
Fitzy is a song-writer and musician who loves building community and facilitating song circles. He has released a handful of songs and an EP, mostly as a solo artist.
When he felt the urge to step out of his comfort zone and co-create a song with two other artists (Marie Sonalet and Gabriel Shonerd), he approached me to record in the Studio in the Woods.
"Luna Llena" is a true collaboration in every sense of the word, from riding, to performing, to arranging. The producing and engineering process was seamless, easy and fun. The song has already become a powerful, original medicine song for our community in Central Oregon, being sung at festivals, events and song circles.
This song was produced and engineered by Andrew.
Erin
Event producer and Artist
"Dive In" was Erin's first ever fully produced track. This was a truly collaborative creation--the vocals and the beat came through simultaneously during a 4-hour studio session in San Diego, CA in 2014
This was a healing an especially healing experience for her since she had been mistreated by a man in a music studio in the past.
This is a one-take recording. (unmixed and unmastered).
Jordan B
Father and Tennis coach
Jordan has recorded numerous tracks over the past 20 years, and he will tell you himself that this one is his favorite. "Where I'm From" was a true collaborative effort. In fact, when Jordan wasn't able get his own chorus fully dialed in, he invited Andrew (his cousin) to sing on the chorus, which ended up turning out great. Andrew arranged, structured and edited the vocals on this track--quite a feat when you listen in.
This song is mixed and mastered.
Eva B
7-year old song-catcher
This original song first came through to Eva as a lyrical, melodic fragment recorded as a voice memo. Over a couple months, I had the honor of clarifying the lyrics and helping the "B" section come to life.
It was a delicate process bringing a 7-year old into the Studio in the Woods for her first time (even if she is my daughter) to refine and record the song. In the end she was very proud of her song and has been creating new song stems that she is excited to bring more songs into the studio soon.
This is a demo, unmixed and unmastered.
Men's Work and Music
Three Men growing through song-writing
In October of 2025, three men gathered for a weekend of deep healing, brotherly connection and song creation.
The result is three highly collaborative tracks with features from local musicians Ky Burt and Adam Tutor.
Song 1: Sacred Love Fireplace by Jamin - This song features the traditional Native American water drum and peyote gourd shaker. It is a song about a fire that was kept burning for years during a tribal resistance campout in Oregon. This was Jamin's first time "writing and original" or spending time in a studio.
Song 2: Something Beyond Us by Chuck V - This song was created by the group, in the moment, inspired directly out of the healing work that Chuck did on the weekend. He challenged me, saying "if you can get a song out of me this weekend, I'll be thoroughly impressed." This extremely raw and vulnerable song is a testament to the power of giving yourself permission to claim self as artist and sing for the sake a sanity and healing.
Song 3: All is Forgiven by Chris C - This song was also created as an impromptu collaborative song. Chris is a long-time jazz pianist who, up until this point, hadn't played in a group since becoming a father 7 years prior. Since breaking through the ice with this song, he has gone on to join a band and play out in festivals.
These are demos, unmixed and unmastered.
Tarin S
Church group leader and blind-folded boyfriend
This original song was created by Tarin in May of 2015 over the course of a 4-hour recording session at the Studio in the Woods in Bend, OR.
This studio session was a surprise gift from Tarin's girlfriend. He entered the studio with no idea what he was about to get into. Nonetheless we got right to work in the studio and recorded this demo and two other song concepts.
Tarin had been sitting on these beautiful songs for many years and was so stoked about the experience that he shared about his experience in this video testimonial. This was his first time in a studio setting.
This is a demo, unmixed and unmastered.
Rachel F
Grandmother and artist
This original song was created by Rachel Forsyth and Andrew Belinsky in 2017 over the course of a 4-hour recording session in a private home in Solana Beach, CA. Rachel, age 72, always held a deep desire to record original music the would outlive her and that her grandchildren could always remember her by. "Kiss the Ground" is just that.
For the record, Rachel had no prior experience with vocal recording or song-writing. The two of them burned some sage, did some yoga and started making sounds. This is a true testimony to the magic power of creating a safe expression sanctuary, creating an intention, and following your heart.
This is a one-take recording (unmixed and unmastered).
Tommy F
husband, Father and entrepreneur
On his bachelor weekend, Tommy had the wild idea to create a song for his bride-to-be Lindsey to sing her her at the wedding. Fortunate for him, his best man was also a music producer. Not only did they create a fun, upbeat song, but after a couple rehearsals, the groomsmen became the band. Watch in this video how the whole room sings together!
"This was a highlight of our wedding for sure. Family members still bring it up to this day!"
Devra G
Healer and event producer
It had been over 40 years (since high school) that Dev had played her flute. It took courage to show up to the studio with it and to play it--but the fingering and blowing came right back to her! Not only did she have a healing experience through remembering her inherent creativity, but she also made some amazing sounds--sounds that Andrew even ended up using in his debut Beloveski EP release!
The first sound you hear in this song is her flute, run through some effects. This song is mixed by Jose Dabdoub and mastered by Big Rock Studios. It is on Beloveski's "Lighten Up" EP from 2019.
Micaela
Chef and musician
Micaela had been writing poetry and singing by herself since she was a little girl. When her boyfriend at the time purchased her a Power Song Process for her birthday, she was both over-the-moon and scared to death.
Completing and recording her first complete song has been hugely transformational for her. She has now performed it live multiple times and continues to show it to her family and friends everywhere she goes. She now claims "musician" as part of her identity.
Elizabeth Tobias
Artists and ARt therapist
This soundtrack piece that was co-created with artist Elizabeth Tobias for her Death Gab for Los Angeles Art Association installation. Together, Elizabeth and Andrew found the sonic elements and eerie voices that were apart of this unusual and stunning exhibition.
This was Elizabeth's first time creating a track in a music studio.
Beloveski
Music producer and facilitator
I released Patience for my 40th bday on Feb. 10, 2025. It is my own personal Courage Song because it's the most raw song I've ever released and I had a few firsts through its creation. It's my first time a) working with a new vocal technique, b) incorporating a live horn, and c) creating the track in Garage Band.
It's my first time working with a new vocal technique, first time incorporating a live horn (Micah Desmarais), and first time creating the track in Garage Band. It also features my own brother Zach Kursman on vocal harmonies!
This song is mixed and mastered and can be found on all streaming platforms.
DTO
Music producer and teacher
This meditation song by DTO was remixed by Andrew in 2017.
A note from DTO, the original artist of Spirit: "Andrew has musicianship as well as production skills AS WELL AS a deep seated spiritual practice. He is a space for wonderful ideas to emerge."
"In this remix, Andrew helped bring forward new life to the original song. His talent to bring in percussion and electronic beats made the song danceable and inspiring. It was a breakthrough for me as an artist to work with Andrew, a genius in motion. I highly recommend working with Andrew on any level of mentorship: coaching and music."
This song is mixed and mastered and can be found on Beloveski's 2019 EP "Lighten Up."
