Anybody else feel a lil' like hallmark don't quite hit it?

"Mother's Day" brings with it a potpourri of Feels.......some culturally sanctioned // some hiding out at home alone or in taking 5 in the bathroom at family gatherings. What would a circle feel like that welcomes our Wholeness? Inclusive the grief, inclusive the non-traditional ways we Mother, Auntie, Care, Give. Life.

Here's an experiment to see & to sing to these nooks and crannies and call them in to light of our collective welcome. Come sing songs that celebrate earth mama, anchor fierce forgiveness, ripple out unconditional nurture, and also honor the loss that Love entails.

(( All genders most welcome. ))

I know and practice community singing as a pathway to mutual liberation, a reclamation of ritual wisdom skill, and an expression of sensual devotion. Unblocking energy, melting judgment, decomposing scripts of separation, enlisting endorphins, . . . . in Singing, we practice the muscle to choose the love and freedom we desire to. Wavelengths change things.

Afternoon flow:

Doors open: 3:30pm ~ please arrive & settle in by 4 (no stragglers, thanks)

Song container: 4-6pm

We'll open circle space, ground + warm-up + connect, then call-and-echo learn songs and make beauty -- building them slow and steady, welcoming harmony and improvisation as we find our groove. This type of singing is for all voices, to unfurl the line from heart to throat and claim our power and belonging. Science says our heartbeats sync up when we sing together ~ My prayer, you'll leave our gathering feeling more open and expansive, flushed with happy chemicals, love gleaming out your beautiful eyes, and with a pocket full of sacred songs to keep singing yourself free ꩜

Sliding scale: $22-44
