Description

Just as the green things start to nose above the soil, so we too reach toward the light and toward each other to find the juice to welcome Spring for the fullness of our blooming. Come sing with other amazing beings who also value Aliveness! We'll open circle space, ground + warm-up, then call-and-echo learn songs that celebrate the season-- building them slow and steady, welcoming harmony and improvisation as we find our groove. This type of singing is for all voices, to unfurl the line from heart to throat and claim our power and belonging. Science says our heartbeats sync up when we sing together ~ My prayer, you'll leave our gathering feeling more open and expansive, flushed with happy chemicals, love gleaming out your beautiful eyes, and with a pocket full of sacred songs to keep singing yourself free ꩜ Evening flow: Doors open: 6:30pm Arrive & settle in: 6:30-7 (no stragglers, thanks) Song container: 7-9:30pm (including tea break --- BYO mug ) Sliding scale: $25-40Student ticket: $15 Our tithe for this sing will go to Win Recovery: a support org that lowers incarceration and prevents recidivism among women served, designed to stop the trauma-to-prison pipeline by addressing and interrupting the source of trauma that leads to continuous cycles of incarceration.
