Saturday is an open workshop! Come and bring your friends, kids, yoga teacher/class, whoever!
Join us as we wander through some amazing, beautiful, and fun tunes! We’ll begin at 10 AM. take a break for lunch (bring your own, we’ll provide water and fruit) at noon, then more singing from 1-3pm. Come and go when you need to, and know that even if you’ve been to a HeartSong workshop before, there will be new songs and insights to take with you!
Sunday! Come to church 9:30-12 for a short version of HeartSong, where we’ll focus on prayer songs for use in congregations and vigils. First Pres is one of the oldest Presbyterian congregations in the country. Please come! There will be lots of unaccompanied singing and community building!
HeartSong: Building Communities of Practice – Whether you’re in a small church with limited resources, or in a larger place looking for a way to help your community find and/or build its collective voice, learn to play together, say yes to the Spirit, and be transformed, HeartSong is the workshop that will enable you to deepen your community of practice, through increasing your capacity to stay present in the shared creation of sound and silence. We will listen deeply to the spirit within, share what we notice, reclaim the joy of group learning by rote, utilize repetition, and engage our oft ignored ability to harmonize on the spot. With simple chants and global songs, we’ll have a day of transformation and deep fun. Sing your way to your sweetest identity, individually and collectively, each person open to sharing more of who they are becoming and confident that the spiritual work they do to become their best selves will be honored and be integrated into the larger community. There will be singing, drumming, movement, and group improvisation (Yes You Can!), all of which will leave your community with more tools to invite, encourage, and include absolutely everyone to participate in the growth of the beloved Community.
Park in the lot, enter on Redmond Street come downstairs and take your place in the circle.
