Summer Soul Song Circle *with Ríomas*

DESCRIPTION:

Join Ríomas for a sweet summertime song circle outdoors where we will celebrate the sunshine and abundance of the season while staying rooted in our depths, the work we have yet to do on ourselves and in our world.

Ríomas will lead original songs that bridge our connection from land to our interpersonal relationships, from the hard work of unwinding patterns in us to the joy of birthing new ways forward collectively.

Come as you are as we tune into our souls amidst the summer spirit through the mysterious gift of song, held by land and community.

If a fire ban is not in effect at the time of this event, we will have the gift of singing around a fire!

Ríomas (RiYo for short, they/them), previously known as Shireen Amini, is a queer, trans masculine, Puerto Rican-Iranian artist, facilitator, and culture builder based in Portland, Oregon. Creating at the intersection of music, healing, and activism, they are guided by a belief that music, especially voice and rhythm, can reawaken in us what modern culture has forgotten: how to grieve, grow, and feel our power together. Ríomas crafts artful, participatory songs that invite realness, tenderness, joy, and transformative energy, drawing from roots, pop and folk textures, respectfully from Black and Afro-Latin lineages. Through their song circles and educational offerings, Ríomas empowers people to trust their musicality and engage music as a living practice for cultural healing and social change. They are the founder of Sing People Sing!, a queer and BIPOC-led community song circle series in Portland, author of the course Drum Song Reclamation, and leader of an emerging band collective bridging high-level musicianship with community participation. Their first community song album Gather Your Resilience: Medicine for Liberation just released in March 2026.
