We will also discuss plot, structure, voice and narrative, and how these moved us along on our journey with these characters and story.

SPRING SING
| |
'Tis the Season!
Join Shelley Graff as we sing back the warm air, the budding flowers, and the gentle rains in this sweet time of renewal and rebirth. During this year's Singing In Sacred Circle, we will celebrate the season as we look into our sister's eyes and share voice and spirit through song. While learning short, repetitive women-centered and earth-based songs from a variety of traditions, power rises from the center of the circle as all voices create an energy that is empowering, loving, and healing. This opportunity is intended to allow women, regardless of singing experience, to share their voices in a noncompetitive, relaxed safe space. Come sing along! Percussion instruments are welcome as well! Please bring a journal for reflection. Also, please feel free to bring a short seasonal piece (ie. poem or chant) for sharing.
Saturday, March 30th, 12:30-3:30
