About this Event
In the depths of the soul, there is a gushing spring, invisible to the eye. Love, the water of life, bubbles up from its depths -- no end to it. Let Love's spring feed the world's river.
~ Rumi (translated by Haleh Liza Gafori)
🌹Music gets into our hearts, minds, and bones in a profound way, shaping us in self and in community. Song has the power to help us Remember - we are inherently beloved & worthy of care. This circle, we sing to remind ourselves and one another of this, celebrating the power of compassion extending into the world. It's big work! You are warmly invited.
đź’« In February, we'll sing songs for self-love. Bring yourself, bring a friend, bring a partner as we fill up our pockets with words of kindness to carry and share.
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.
