About the Event:

These gatherings are inspired by the chanting and singing often shared at drum circles and women's circles. During our time together, we will learn and practice chants and songs that we can carry with us. The songs we share will be primarily about mother earth, the goddess, and mystic spirituality. These songs are both uplifting & grounding and learning them will make it easier to join in at events/drum-circles and give you the ability to sing them to yourself while you’re alone. Inspiring music can open our hearts and these songs can be sang alone out in nature or in moments of stress when you need a boost!

The circle begins with about 15 minutes of introduction where we will explore sound moving through the body with OM's and noise making. Next, we will share group singing for about 30 minutes with a lyric sheet and drumming. After this we will enjoy a song or two with optional movement (dancing and singing together). We will also share in a game-like activity to help break the ice and boost confidence and joy while singing. There will be hot tea available.

Registration: $20 per person, per date. Registration is required and there is limited space available.  PLEASE NOTE: To register you must click “Add to Cart” and fill out the form that pops up. THEN be sure to go to your cart and complete check-out to finalize your registration. Thank you!

Communal singing, much like drumming and group meditation, can connect hearts, co-regulate emotions, and give the participant a sense of well being. Modern life doesn’t have many opportunities for communal singing, where it’s about the experience of singing together rather than a performance. We are excited to share in this opportunity together.

About the Host:

Laura Smith is a visual artist based in Mechanicsburg and a creative thinker who is committed to making the world a better place. Her art draws inspiration from exploring both the beauty in nature and her own inner mystical experiences. She specializes in large dreamy landscapes and is hosting a ‘Make Your Own Mushroom Terrarium’ project through the summer as part of a mission to invite others into the joy of the creative process. She finds women's song circles to be a life enriching way to share in community and is so excited to share that with you now.

Welcoming to All Women:

This song circle is welcoming to those of all religious, philosophical, and spiritual backgrounds. Whatever you connect to & believe in, music and shared song is a universal love language that can connect us to each other, to ourselves, and to nature!
