About this Event
🎆New Year's resolutions... have you ever felt like it's tough to start a new routine in the middle of the winter? Same. In the world around us, the trees are bare, many animals are hibernating, and nature signals that this is the time for rest. In the darkness of the season, much can seem mysterious. So, maybe the invitation is to gather warmth and practice ease with ourselves and others.
💜In January, we'll sing songs for Mystery, as we wonder and dream about what we need and how we want to be.
About the Circle:
🌀river city sing is a new 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!
This event is donation-based and free spots are available.
