Monthly Song Circle
2024-11-01 19:00 - 21:00 | iLa Yoga, 13 Orondo Ave, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
November’s monthly song circle falls on a First Friday, so we’ve teamed up with our pals at iLa Yoga to offer singing after art-ing! Enjoy the art exhibits downtown and cap it off with a community sing along.
What is a Song Circle? Unlike many musical events where you simply listen, Shine Song Circles are an active experience. It’s not about how your voice sounds, but how it feels within. This is a safe space for self-expression, where you can let go and connect deeply with yourself and others. Be ready for movement, joy, and soul connections, all powered by our collective voices.
Alicia has been leading song circles in Leavenworth and Wenatchee since 2018, offering a diverse range of songs from diverse traditions. These gatherings are designed to be a safe, welcoming space for everyone to explore their voice, regardless of experience. Alicia’s passion lies in the healing power of collective singing, where voices unite to foster connection and self-expression. She encourages participation and new song offerings, making each circle a shared, communal experience.
