POWER UP! :: a community song circle to spark soul

As the passing days grow minutes of more sun, as the seeds beneath the ground start to sigh and stir a little . . . . so might we be coming alive with inklings of the dreams that want to wake up through us this coming year. Let's gather together and reflect each other's goodness through song. Let's plug into what powers us up so we can ripple out this Possibility!

Are you tired, dear one? Fatigued down to the bone?

Maybe your power has been disconnected for too long.

Connect your life to your soul and your soul to its source.

Spending time with your own soul heals everything.

Even the world.

– Jaiya John

Come just as you are and experience an afternoon of interactive singing led by experienced songleader Lyndsey Scott. After a simple vocal and body warm-up, we'll learn songs through call-and-echo repetition. Rounds and layers will add complexity for those who want it -- before you know it, we'll be making beauty! Singing will be interspersed with facilitated sharing, opportunities to move, and spacious tea break time to meet and connect with community.

ALL VOICES WELCOME!

Whether you love to sing, only ever sing in the shower, or were told "you shouldn't sing" - you are welcome and valued here. This way of being together is an antidote to perfectionism; it's about remembering that we belong and that our voices have power. Science says our heartbeats sync up when we sing together! You'll leave feeling more open and relaxed, with a pocket full of positive songs to keep singing through the week ꩜

I use a wide sliding scale model to allow those with more resource to 'pay it forward' for those with less resource.

(( I f this range is not accessible, reach out to me. No one turned away for lack of funds. ))
