Come sing with us at one Song Circle or many!
No experience necessary. All voices welcome.
As we move into the coldest, darkest months of the year, we gather to tend what warms us from the inside out β€” shared voices, simple songs, and connection. Whether you join Community Song Circle once or every month, you’ll leave with your spark glowing a little brighter.
Each Circle, song leader Hella Wartman will guide participants through songs taught in the oral tradition - no lyrics or sheet music required. We’ll sing a mix of rounds, layer songs, zipper songs, and call-and-response tunes being shared across global song circles today.
What to Expect:
-Songs taught by earβ€”no reading necessary
-A safe, inclusive space where every voice matters
-Simple, soulful songs that invite harmony and participation
-Opportunities to connect with others through music
Choose the Time That Fits You (or join us for both)
