Solstice Song Ceremony

Community singing is a way to gather, grieve, celebrate, connect and experience life. Today, we come together to revive and relive this tradition in the world we find ourselves in now with songs born from within our community. Katie will teach songs call and response, in a circle un-amplified. This is a secular space, focused on songs that nourish and support a sense of community, belonging, and self love. There will be rounds, part songs, harmonies and unison with any and all voices embraced, celebrated and welcomed. No experience necessary During the darkest time of the year, it is easy to fall into the fallacy that we are in it alone. Coming together during this time is essential. We must remember the truth of our interconnectedness. Singing brings us back into our bodies; our primal knowing of our internal and external truths. This evening will be focused on songs specific for Winter Solstice. We will celebrate the dark and the coming of the light. 345pm - 4pm : Arrival.
