About this Event
About this month's theme:
🕯️As we move further into Autumn, the trees release their last leaves and their energy returns to the roots. The sun sets earlier and nights grow longer. We too, begin to notice the inward shift and the call to rest. It’s a good time to listen to the heart space while gathered around the warming hearth.
♥️In November, we’ll gather to sing heart(h) songs for tending the flames of self love, resting deeply, and receiving nourishment from the practices of care & gratitude.
About the Circle:
🌀River City Sing is a new 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.
