SONGTIMES
|
SONGTIMES are all-come, heart-opening, song medicine sessions. I will choose a cycle of songs based loosely on a structure from Joanna Macy's "The Work that Connects": Gathering, Gratitude, Grief, Praise, Power, and Protection. Examples of some of the songs we might sing include many on the A Breath of Song podcast -- like "Right Place, Right Time" by Samara Jade, "Gandalf's Blessing" by Josh Blaine, "Brighter Days" by Jennifer Cook, or my own "Sanctuary". Not religious, but sometimes holy. Songs of freedom, of recognizing yourself and each other.
I teach all songs in the moment, including harmonies, percussion, and bass lines, depending on the inclination of the group. No sheet music is used, so close listening is necessary... it's great for building brain cells and relying on group information, as we commit lyrics and melodies into our bodies! You can expect lots of call & response, making music from the very first inhalation, laughter, frustration, confusion, delight... expect to be surprised. |
