Women's Swim & Sing!

Let us gather in nature in conscious community to sing our intentions, to manifest our prayers. Singing is so good for us: body, heart, and soul! Singing in community harmonizes our hearts and helps us feel empowered, joyful, connected, and at peace. Singing with women allows us to feel safe and free to authentically express ourselves.

The circle includes centering, breathing, vocal meditation, movement, and embodied singing. We sing heart songs and chants, traditional and original songs, in the call and repeat oral tradition. We sing as salve for the souls of all sentient beings and as a blessing for our Mother Earth.

Location - We will be singing in the water at a natural swimming pond near Cuernavaca and Bee Caves. Exact address will be shared upon registration.

Space is limited. Sliding scale $25-10. No one will be turned away due to lack of ability to pay. Reach out to me directly to discuss if you are unable to pay this amount.

Statement of Solidarity: Heart Body Song strives to create a safe space for all and in order to do this must acknowledge the harm that people of color have experienced and in some cases still endure. For community singing to be fully inclusive and safe for people of the global majority and others harmed by inhumane systems, Heart Body Song is committed to standing/singing in solidarity by taking an anti-racist stance in organizing and facilitating all of our events. Community singing is a form of collective healing and without intentional, proactive action towards dismantling systemic injustice, the inertia of our society will continue to perpetuate harm to those who are most oppressed. Without this stance, the community singing movement's aspirations for a peaceful, loving, and sustainable world will only remain a reality for the people living in white skin.
