🌷WHAT IS SINGIN' TO FEEL?

Singin' to feel is a song circle collaboration between Darlissa Andrea and Loujká Létom that interweaves singing, community building, and collective dreaming, imagining, and weaving.

For as long as humans have existed, we’ve gathered in song. This gathering is an invitation to join that ancient practice—to sing together and remember our inherent belonging in community.

Songs are shared in the oral tradition: taught through call and echo.

All voices and all ages are welcome—no matter your experience, you belong here.

We believe, “singing is not a talent, skill, or hobby; it is a foundational technology of community and belonging." -Siobahn Delaney

🌷What to Bring

• Water and/or tea
