Let’s give the returning sun a warm welcome in song, as we raise and weave our voices together in harmony in this two-hour informal workshop / community song circle. All voices are welcome regardless of experience.All songs are taught in the oral tradition by call and response, without sheet music (although some lyrics are provided). Some songs have 3 or 4 harmony parts, and some have a simple structure with room for harmonies to arise organically. There are no “wrong notes” and our aim is joy and connection, not perfection.
Creativity and movement are encouraged and chairs are optional.
Learn uplifting songs celebrating the returning light, by songwriters in the community singing movement (e.g. Coco Love Alcorn, Lea Morris), and one by the Beatles: “Here Comes The Sun”. The workshop is two hours, with a break for ginger tea; connect with others who love to sing!
To provide access to folks with diverse background and economic access, admission is on a sliding scale: $15 - 30: please choose what feels both affordable and generous for you.

Walk-ins are welcome. Join us and experience the magic of community singing, in harmony, imperfectly.
