✨ GATHER YOUR RESILIENCE: An Evening of Community Song and Spirit Elevation *with Ríomas*
🎶 hosted by Amplify Collective (previously known as Thrive Street Choir)
More than a community song circle, this evening will be a blend of performance, ritual, singalong, and community power. With the support of a locally-sourced band and special guest artists, join us as we journey through songs from the newly-birthed album Gather Your Resilience: Medicine for Liberation by artist and songleader Ríomas.
With great intention and design, this album is meant to be taken in as medicine, then affirmed in community, rewiring our nervous systems and subsequently rewriting collective scripts. It is just one side of the vision that is incomplete without the live experience. So please, bring your voice in celebration of this music now being out in the world, summoning us to build resistance and life-serving culture from within and, bravely and joyfully, with each other.
This gathering is offered as a part of the Gather Your Resilience Tour, a traveling series of locally-attuned song circle-ceremony-performance experiences inspired by the recent release by Ríomas.
✨ SPECIAL INVITATION:
If you are able, you are invited to listen and learn lines from the album in advance as study for this pop-up community choir experience. Teaching will be minimal. Though not at all required, (parts will be just as easy to pick up in-the-moment) this will add boost and magic to our gathering.
