Opportunities for communal singing in today’s society are rare, yet the power of singing together is profound. Collective singing fosters connection, belonging, and a deep sense of community. It creates an alchemical space for healing and self-exploration, where the music becomes a gateway to something greater than ourselves.
The evening will be built around a carefully curated selection of songs, each chosen for their simplicity. These are songs of contemplation and mindfulness, designed to guide us into a shared, transcendent experience.
All songs will be led via acoustic guitar, you only need to bring your voice. You do not need to know the songs in advance. You will quickly pick them up due to their simplicity and lyric sheets will be provided. As a group, we’ll allow the songs to come alive as we explore harmonies and experience the spontaneous rise and fall of the music.
This is an invitation to come as you are, and to simply be with the music and the people around you. We'll cultivate a co-creative space together, where the magic of communal singing invites connection, healing, and deeper self-awareness.

‣ No prior singing experience necessary. This is not a choir and you will not be expected to read music or learn specific parts. We’ll learn the songs by ear and our voices will blend together as a collective.

‣ Evan’s Creek Lodge is a warm space in a beautifully renovated log cabin in Southfield, MI. When you arrive, there will be a space for you to hang your coat and take off your shoes (please bring slippers or warm socks if you’d like).
‣ The opening circle will welcome everyone together and provide an opportunity for brief introductions.
‣ Backjack floor chairs and upright chairs will be available to suit your preference. You are also welcome to bring a bolster or cushion if you desire.
‣ Lance Baker will guide us through the songs on acoustic guitar. Each song will be introduced so everyone can get comfortable with the melody. (Again, these are songs intentionally selected for their simplicity.)
‣ We’ll play each song through multiple times. We might play a single song for 7-8 minutes allowing it to rise and and fall as the group feels led. The songs will become collective offerings sustained by the community of voices.
‣ After an hour of signing, we’ll hold a brief closing circle to conclude the evening.
