For many millennia, music, and specifically music made together in community, has been a crucial way we bolster ourselves in hard times. Music can mend our bones and pour in grace. It can transform our exhaustion and help us feel more held as a part of the choir. You are heartily invited to this Music As Medicine Community Sing!

Lydia brings with her the gift of facilitating gatherings into song and collaboration. Singing in a council of friends is one of the most healthful, encouraging, invigorating, and nourishing things that we know, though many of us have been discouraged away from this life-giving opportunity. Just as it feels good to act in the companionship of others on behalf of life, so too is the homecoming of singing together. We will use the spiral of Joanna Macy's work to guide our path for the evening, with Lydia bringing in concise teachings from Macy's 50 years of being present to the community in hard times.

All are welcome! No music experience is necessary.
