Date: Wednesday Sept. 30th
Time: 6-8pm
Suggested Donation: $5-10 (payable at the bar)
All ages,voices and skill levels welcome welcome at this venue.
In recognizing the power of community singing to carry a movement and cultivate harmony within ourselves and the world around us we gather every other Wednesday to lift up our voices and explore the time honored tradition of humans bonding over songs sung together.
This song circle is intended to celebrate the songs that cultivate connection- across the full spectrum- songs help us feel connected to ourselves, to humanity and to the bigger than us whatever that means for you.
This is not your typical song circle- it is designed more as a game with elements of immersive theatre and improv- a playful experiment and experience of songs and curating more harmony in the world.
We ask each participant to bring 1 song from ANY genre to put in the hat for the game.
Yes there are a lot of the typical call and echo style heart songs.
Yes chants and ceremony and camp fire songs all welcome - But so are show-tunes and shanties and everything in between and beyond.
As long as the song has helped cultivate connection in your life it is welcome and wanted here.
Come and be welcome ye bards one and all- come lift up your voices in chorus with mine.
