Would you like to learn a pocketful of songs that you and a few friends could bring to others in your community during times of need? Join Liz Rog to learn short, simple songs of comfort, healing, and courage. Liz comes to us from Decorah, Iowa where she leads a small group of everyday singers--including people who are joining a singing group for the first time--called the ‘Kitchen Table Singers.’ In groups of 6-8 singers they go to homes, hospitals, parks, and any other spaces where they are invited to bring songs in service of love. They sing those who are ailing, healing, dying, grieving, moving, ending or beginning a job or a relationship, celebrating a milestone, preparing for a journey...in short, for any of life's thresholds, small or large. It is among the oldest, easiest, and most accessible ways of using song for weaving community care.
Liz will share the practices that her group has learned over the 14 years they’ve been offering this gift to their community. Participants will learn some wonderful songs and receive recordings by email following the event. The Kitchen Table Songbook will be available for purchase.
Cost: Sliding scale, pay whatever is both generous and affordable for you: $15, $30, $45
