About this Event
, we inspire deeper connection to ourselves, each other, and the Earth through song. We believe in the healing, freedom, and joy that can come through communal singing, and aim to make that experience more widely accessible.
About this Circle: Join us for our 3rd annual, Mothers' Day Intergenerational Singing Circle. This circle celebrates nurturance, interdependence, creative power! All voices in the supportive village are warmly welcome: parents, caregivers, aunties & uncles, nibblings, abuelos, kiddos, and even puppies. We'll sing songs, make up music, and play improvised games that spark the imagination and tap our collective creativity. Through this communal music-making, we build the village it takes to bring forth a liberated and just future.
This circle will be led by Milly Roberts, music educator, fresh auntie, mother of seedlings and co-founder of Boston-Area Singing Circles.
