Grief Song Circle with Maggie McKnight
December 13, 2024 4pm – 6pm
When we take pause, deeply honor our feelings and tears, new insights and possibilities can ignite. Healing can occur. Community song circles welcome all voices, bringing together people who love to sing, regardless of experience level. During this circle we will be building a container for our individual and shared grief, through activating our voices. Group singing is a powerful way of connecting with each other, and with something deep within ourselves—and the music we make as we support each other through song call forth the singing voice that is every human’s birthright. Song circles don’t focus on performing for an audience; instead, learn songs from a variety of traditions by call-and-response, and sing for the joy of creating something beautiful together in the moment. Led by Maggie McKnight
