New Year's Day Sunshine Sing w/ Amanda West & Sarah MacEwan

Song circles are an accessible and community-based approach to singing. Together we will share simple chants, rounds and layer songs, songs designed to soothe, to uplift, to support and to inspire. The kinds of songs you can carry with you in your body and in your heart, and turn to as you embrace the coming year.

**Bring something to sit on and some cozy layers. All genders/ages welcome.

LOCATION - Seabright Beach (address provided upon registration)

DONATION - Suggested sliding scale $30-$20. No one turned away due to lack of funds.

ACCOUNTABILITY - We will be tithing to the .

**No matter your race, gender, sexual orientation, abilities, or housing status, you are not only welcome here, you belong here. We hope you will bring the wholeness of who you are to this embodied experience of singing with full permission to be in movement, grief, laughter and imperfection.
