like the early Spring birds, we'll gather to sing!
About this Event

🌸 In the earliest moments of Spring, the world begins to reawaken. This is the time of the leafbud, the ephemeral wildflower, the chickweed and dandelion. We, too, emerge as we step into longer, warmer days, paying close attention to the newness all around and within. What might we see? What beauty and possibility do we notice? How do we honor the Now?
🌱 In March, we'll sing songs for blooming - to practice tender emergence and celebrate the wonder of nature. We'll plant seeds of song for the season ahead. Come as you are, take what you need!



About the Circle:

🌀river city sing is a community song circle at Living Water Community Center, hosted by Kelley Doyle. Surrounded by a bee sanctuary filled with native plants and a produce garden, we gather to connect to our voices, our breath, and with one another! This isn't a choir or chorus but a circle of folks singing together - no musical experience is necessary.
~ Above all, community singing is for all. ~
Your voice is welcomed, needed, and cherished.


Kelley will share songs by beginning with their lyrics, then teaching the songs a capella (without instruments) through call-and-echo, gradually building as we go. We repeat them several times to let the words & sound sink in. They focus on themes of love, kinship with the Earth, and self-compassion — little pocket songs we carry to encourage & comfort ourselves and one another.

We'll begin in circle, find grounding through breath and easeful movement, sing, and close. Bring a mug if you'd like some tea!


This event is donation-based and free spots are available.
