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 Circles:
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 :) .

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!
