Join Michelle & Joa for connection through shared song, music and movement, the day before Mother's Day.
Together we will sing songs of renewal, connection, resilience and love of Mother Earth. We will learn simple movents and choreography and practice them together - creating rhythm within and without - in Nature, around a sacred fire in a beautiful and serene grove, weather permitting (if it rains, we'll simply move the class indoors at Michelle's!) ALL ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND! PLEASE BRING A POEM, A SONG, TO SHARE WITH THE GROUP! |
Journal Prompts for May:
-What role does music, movement, or creative expression play in your daily rhythm? -What sound-related activities or practices bring you a sense of grounding, courage or joy? -How might you weave music and sound into your day or week? |
Donation-based offerings
In keeping with the mutualized, collectivized nature of these offerings, these events are donation-based, to ensure that anyone can attend. Still, there is much unseen work and costs that go into these gatherings, as well as the necessity to compensate presenters for their time, expertise, years of study, scholarship and practice.
If you are able to/would like to make a donation in support, that would be highly appreciated!
Suggested donation to attend a session: $15-$35
If this suggested donation inhibits your attendance, no matter!
We want you to be a part of this collective.
Please reach out to us to find out how you can help in lieu of paying any fees.
