river city sing: a community song circle - songs for Courage

At the root of the word "courage" is cor, the Latin word for Heart. How is it with your heart these days? What is it asking for? Perhaps this kind of tending, in community, can strengthen our spirits for all that life is asking us to show up for. Our practice of care - for self, others, and world - can help us gather our courage.

We're bringing in the element of Fire for this almost-Summer-Solstice circle, singing songs to ignite the spark and fan the flame. You are most welcome as we practice courage together.

About the Circle:

🌀river city sing is a community song circle at Living Water Community Center, hosted by Kelley Doyle. Surrounded by a bee sanctuary filled with native plants and a produce garden, we gather to connect to our voices, our breath, and with one another! This isn't a choir or chorus but a circle of folks singing together - no musical experience is necessary.
~ Above all, community singing is for all. ~
Your voice is welcomed, needed, and cherished.

Kelley will share songs by beginning with their lyrics, then teaching the songs a capella (without instruments) through call-and-echo, gradually building as we go. We repeat them several times to let the words & sound sink in. They focus on themes of love, kinship with the Earth, and self-compassion — little pocket songs we carry to encourage & comfort ourselves and one another.

We'll begin in circle, find grounding through breath and easeful movement, sing, and close. Bring a mug if you'd like some tea!
