Circlesinging is an ancient community ritual where people of good will gather together in the shape of a circle with a guide who leads improvised patterns and creates music in the moment. The singing is meant to fill up the space and bodies of all who share the experience. Through the use of movement, sound and sometimes words, we collectively create rhythmic patterns and melodic structures to add to the flow and depth of the experience. The purpose of this gathering is to elevate the spirit. Women Singers of all levels welcome. Please arrive healthy. 30 women max. The second sunday Women's Circle Sing is held at a private venue on private land in Kenwood, Valley Of The Moon, Sonoma County, CA.
