Donation: $10 - as much as you want to donate!

Join artist and healer Lyndsey Scott for an interactive workshop on the 
uplifting and relaxing power of song in your community.
What muses live beyond the obligatory food gathering tune? Many communities 
already have a practice of singing to circle up for sharing meals, and many 
more are discovering the power of community singing to slow down, bring beauty, 
regulate nervous systems, and anchor visions of the more beautiful worlds we 
feel and dream.

Science tells us that singing together “alleviates anxiety and stress and 
lessens feelings of depression and loneliness.” History tells us singing 
together is the glue and heart of change-making social movements. Making music 
together is medicine for these times!

In this interactive workshop, we’ll sing!, and explore moments that are ripe to 
weave song into community life. Simple songs will be taught call-and-response 
(with participants muted because of lag), and ample space will be given to 
questions you might have has you imagine leading more song in your community.

Key outcomes of this workshop:
        • 4 fresh songs to share with your community
        • 3 tips for creating ease and clarity in teaching them
        • An understanding of song’s power to uplift and relax
        • Access to free online resources for continued song learning
