About this Event

About this month's theme:
❄️Moving towards winter, the days become shorter as we approach the Longest Night. We are also in the midst of the holidays! Come sing songs of the Solstice* to carry you in this season. You're welcome to bring a favorite treat to share!

🤍In December, we’ll take time to slow down, reground, and celebrate in song & community.

*a little early! :)



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.
