Simple heart songs to help us tend our grief, non-religious and accessible to all.
A song circle for grief, the weight of the world, and hope and courage in these times.
When it feels like the world is falling apart, singing in community together heals and centers us—we’re not alone.
Our culture desperately needs spaces where it is safe to feel your sorrow and the weight of the world. Come sing through the small and large griefs in your life, give them space to breathe, and learn songs to anchor your courage and hope for the work to come.
Song leaders Liz Digitale Anderson and Leah Robshaw Robinson hold care-filled circles for you to de-stress your nervous system, find freedom in your voice, move your body, and be in community together.
Every voice is welcome and needed! We teach all the songs call and response- just open your mouth and echo back. We’ll sing songs to ground you, heal you, help you breathe, and give you hope in the days to come.
