At CR3 Restorative Services and Solutions,
We believe that healing doesn’t just happen in private, it happens in how people connect, communicate, and show up for one another at work. The Mental Health Music Circle is a guided, interactive experience designed to reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and support emotional wellness in professional spaces.
Whether it’s burnout, compassion fatigue, or simple disconnection — music can be the reset your team needs.
What is a Music Circle?
The Music Circle is not a performance, it’s a shared experience. Led by trained facilitators and mental health professionals, each session uses simple music-making, breathwork, and reflective prompts to help people slow down, reconnect, and breathe.
No musical talent is needed. Just a willingness to pause, listen, and engage.
The Science Behind Music
Music has a unique effect on the brain and body, it’s one of the few activities that engages both hemispheres of the brain at once. When used intentionally in group settings, music can:
Regulate the nervous system and calm anxiety
• Lower cortisol, the hormone connected to stress
• Increase dopamine and oxytocin, which promote motivation and connection
• Strengthen team bonding by activating shared emotional responses
• Improve mood, focus, and communication
Music also supports what’s called co-regulation, when people begin to feel more emotionally stable just by being in sync with others around them. That’s why music circles are so effective for building emotionally healthy teams.
