This spring I created my first album, 12 songs designed to be sung a cappella with drum in community. When we sing them together, we cast spells of generous grace and intrepid trust in the journey. I know and practice community singing as a pathway to mutual liberation, a reclamation of ritual wisdom skill, and an expression of sensual devotion. Unblocking energy, melting judgment, decomposing scripts of separation, enlisting endorphins . . . . in Singing, we practice the muscle to choose. Wavelengths change things. Listen to Well Held: streaming on Spotify -or- purchase on bandcamp Evening flow: Arrive: 6:45-7:15p Song container: 7:15-9p We'll open circle space, ground + warm-up, then call-and-echo learn songs from the album -- 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 ~ You'll leave our gathering feeling more open and expansive, flushed with happy chemicals, and with a pocket full of sacred songs to keep singing yourself free ꩜ Covid care: This event is indoors.
