About the Circle:
🌀river city sing is a community song circle at Living Water Community Center hosted by Kelley Doyle (@rooted_song). 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 typical choir or chorus but a circle of folks singing together - no musical experience is necessary and songs are taught without sheet music.
~ 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) or with drum/harmonium 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 cup if you'd like some tea! Each circle has a bespoke custom blend by one of our talented herbalist singers.
