Community Choir and song circle!

The Power Of Song ~

Music manifests in experience, expression, and diversity. It can instill hope, shift a mindset, and calm the storm within.

April 25th, 2025, 6:00-7:30

A singing circle is a gathering of people who come together to share their voices in song. It’s more than just singing; it’s about fostering connection, enhancing spiritual awareness, and creating a supportive community.

The power of singing in a circle lies not in talent or skill but in the harmony created by shared experiences and connections.

Singing circles are akin to meditation and prayer. They offer a space to connect with our inner selves and experience serenity in our daily lives.

It’s about creating an environment where we can connect deeply with what matters most ~ community, the turning of the seasons, and finding harmony within us.

We will begin with a short grounding practice and check-in, then sing! I will provide lyrics for everyone to follow along. 

You do not need any prior singing experience to join us. This event is open to all! 

Join us as we explore using our voices to experience freedom of expression while connecting with ourselves and others! 

 

The Power of Song in a Song Circle

Connection: Song has the unique ability to dissolve barriers. In a circle, voices blend, creating a shared rhythm and emotional experience that strengthens participant bonds.

Healing: Music can soothe emotional wounds and provide comfort. Singing in a group often releases stress and fosters a sense of well-being.

Storytelling: Songs often carry histories, emotions, and cultural narratives. Participants pass on traditions, personal experiences, and meaningful messages by sharing them.

Empowerment: Leading a song or even joining in harmony builds confidence and helps people find their voice—literally and metaphorically.

Joy and Inspiration: Few experiences rival the uplifting power of a song shared with others. There's an indescribable magic when voices unite in unison, transcending the moment.
