Help SAGE spread our mission of hope through music
Our mission is to show the world that music and art therapy are essential to recovery. We operate with passion and compassion offering inspiration and a sense of connection. Music can be a powerful source of healing and strength and can help those in recovery to stay focused and uplifted through every challenge.
"A guitar saved my life.
It can save yours too."

SAGE Presentations
SAGE presentations are a combination of music, art, and lecture.
Our staff visits rehabilitation facilities directly, and through the power of performance, we establish vital connections with clients, just when they are in most need of them.
Presentations begin with a Meditation to soothe and calm the audience. Our pleasant and relaxing meditation is geared towards helping the listeners let go of their anxieties and tensions.As the clients are more at ease, we move to the Music Therapy portion of the presentation.
Music helps individuals express emotions or feelings that may be difficult to verbalize. Our music therapy session demonstrates that music and art are healthy coping mechanisms. With live music, audio, and visual technology, we enhance the performance to resonate and communicate the beauty of recovery.
In the final part of our SAGE presentation, a wonderful catharsis takes place. Our Drum Therapy session is entitled "The Rhythm of Recovery" in which a critical connection takes place between us, the clients, and the spirit of life.
SAGE presentations are a crucial part of our organization, and we look forward to making this connection with you.

At SAGE we believe everyone should be able to share their talents in an environment that welcomes recovery.
SAGE has created this environment and has held multiple events, and with your support, we will continue to grow and make an impact on our community.
