Lit Mic: NCW's loudest open mic
2024-10-01 19:00 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Bushel & Bee, 900 Front St C, Leavenworth, WA, 98826, United States
Join us for NCW’s loudest open mic: Lit Mic.

Join us every First Tuesday at Bushel & Bee Taproom in Leavenworth. 7pm to 9:30pm

This open mic is for writers of all types and stripes. Bring your poems, essays, excerpts, short stories and more. Sign up on arrival to reserve your spot. Space is limited.

The key tenets of Lit Mic summarized: be kind and make some noise.

The slightly longer version: Art is personal and political. We are kind and respectful. Keep it real, but keep it civil. We are here to celebrate art and artists. Check any pretentiousness and bad vibes at the door. We are NCW’s loudest open mic. Whistle, clap, cheer – show these writers some love.

This event is hosted by Holly Thorpe of Stark Consulting and Events. Questions? Contact Holly at starkncw@gmail.com.

Monthly Song Circle
2024-10-01 18:30 - 20:30 | Leavenworth, US Hwy 2, Leavenworth, WA, 98826, United States
Shine Song Collective presents a Monthly Song Circle.

Every month on the 1st – locations will vary.

What is a Shine Song circle? Together we will sing simple, heartfelt songs that invoke our inner most power. Our voice is a musical instrument…but also an instrument for healing, for mental clarity, for generating true confidence, and for the awakening of a heightened consciousness.

While many other musical events are passive – you listen and take it in, our offering is active. Shine song circles are all about how it feels on the inside, not about how it sounds on the outside, a safe place to express yourself. Be prepared for movement and soul connections too, through the power of our collective voice.

We’ll be singing old songs, new songs, loud ones, soft ones, funny, intense and tender ones. Yours, mine and ours. No experience necessary, all are welcome. Just bring your open heart. And some water.
~~~
S.H.I.N.E stands for
S. Sacred synchronicity in song
H. Harmonically holding space to heal
I. Inspiring innovative inner work, inclusively
N. nurturing new neural pathways for nourishment
E. Everyone elevates ecstatically!
