Monthly Song Circle
2024-09-01 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
