About this Event

What are the lessons of Water? Water shows us how to be powerful, what it feels like to be in flow; the strength of both stillness and movement. It takes many forms, from the smallest drop mist to the largest ocean. All beings need water to live. It has inspired many poets, artists, mystics, and musicians - so in May, let us gather to sing about and for Water and its many teachings!

10% of donations for this circle will support the James River Association, a Richmond nonprofit connecting folks to our local River and protecting our waters from pollution.


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.
