Description:

Singing and sounding together around a fire is a practice that many humans across cultures have participated in for thousands upon thousands of years. Joining our voices in song fosters a sense of interconnection, soothes our nervous systems, and brings us into deeper presence.

RESONANCE is a community and culture-building experiment where we will blend singing together with other intentional relational practices. Through opening our voices in many ways (both singing and sharing), we will build belonging and resonance within ourselves and with each other.

In this space, we are singing and sounding for the pleasure of the experience itself, with an emphasis on embodiment and connection over perfection. You don't need to read music or have any previous singing experience to participate. Your voice is wanted and welcome here!

What others are saying:

“A beautiful blend of social/emotional connection and group singing—which is its own kind of connection. I left with a feeling of joy and togetherness. I loved it!”

- Eric I.

“A very sweet and connective circle with a format I have never experienced before. The name ‘resonance’ is very fitting as I felt the resonance the circle created”

- Oakley W.

“I noticed a deepening of presence as each person shared something meaningful. It opened a feeling of closeness with the group, and each time we sang together, I felt more energy and aliveness. It was powerful and heartening in times when people often feel so alone and isolated. This experience brought me back to my sense of healthy sense and also healthy community.”

-Colin T Connor, Brand & Culture Consultant, Musìca do Círculo Facilitator
