Songs and Salve: Music and Practices for the Soul and the City

Join the Carolina Music Social Club for an immersive community experience where music meets medicine-making — nurturing both the heart and the body. Song and Salve invites you into a shared circle of sound, story, and creation.

Together, we’ll breathe deeply, sing boldly, and explore the songs that have carried us — from lullabies and anthems to chants of protest and empowerment. Through improvised harmonies, collective songwriting, and the weaving of new verses into beloved tunes, we’ll discover how music connects us across generations and struggles.

Alongside the music, we’ll engage in the age-old art of crafting healing salves, learning from the plants that thrive around us. Guided by knowledge of native herbs, you’ll explore their protective and restorative properties — and create a balm to carry home as a reminder of the day’s shared care.

Bring the songs you remember from your family, your community, or your own life’s journey. Bring the remedies passed down through stories or experience. Together, we’ll create something that lingers — in voice, in body, and in spirit.

Come for the song, stay for the salve — and leave with your hands, heart, and city a little more whole.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
