In collaboration with my mother, Lotus, we are hosting a singing circle once each month. In the spirit of community, in the spirit of songs from all over the world, we rise up together and sing our hearts out. This is a FREE event.
“I’m very excited to recreate a very old kind of gathering in my life, and hopefully in yours. Circle singing is the elixir of the gods! I grew up singing around the campfire and the piano with my family and I always had a singing circle to begin the day in my teaching career with children. In the past, almost all religious experience was based on communal music, and we have such a rich musical history from many cultures to draw from. Today, this circular communal singing — where music is not a performance but a participatory opportunity for everyone — is coming back into our modern lives. Singing tones, and chants and rounds from many spiritual traditions that are simple to learn, beautiful, uplifting, and decidedly fun is one of my greatest joys. I believe there is nothing more inspiring than to be bathed in the sounds of human harmonies lifted in love and praise of the beauties of creation. All are welcome, even those who think of themselves as tone-deaf. The group will carry you. You don’t have to consider yourself a singer…you just are, because you are human! Please join me on the third Friday evenings in the months of November and of December for our first Soul Singing gatherings.”
