Songs can call us into witnessing our individual and collective change, and the grief and joys that come with transition and release. In this singing workshop, we will come together for nourishment, play, and connection. If there is collapse, how do we tend to each other and ourselves? How do we love one another, and hold one another in celebration, in emptiness, despair, and hope? Holding these questions, we will sing songs of resilience and healing.  

All voices are welcome! Non-singers, shower singers, professional singers—anyone who can make a noise, you are welcome here in this community tending space. We will learn songs from the community singing movement, where melodies and stories are passed from song carrier to song carrier. These short potent songs are taught in the oral tradition using call and echo, or call-and-response form. 

The class will meet in front of the Welcome Center. If the weather allows, we’ll sing together outdoors. Dress accordingly. 

Members: $20 / Non-members: $25
