You don’t need to know the words, the melodies, or how to “sing well.”Through shared sound and rhythm, the mind softens, the nervous system settles, and presence gently takes the lead. As voices rise and fall together, something ancient awakens — a felt sense of unity being remembered through song.You are welcome to sing loudly, softly, imperfectly — or simply listen and receive.If you have a voice, you belong.About the Space: The BirdhouseThis gathering takes place at The Birdhouse — a home that has quietly become a place of meditation, healing, art, and community over the years. It’s a lived-in, love-held space where people come to exhale, soften, and feel less alone.Candles will be lit.Shoes + Phones off.Come as you are._____________________________________________________________________________About the Hosts is a Mantra and Medicine Music musician who has walked this devotional path for nearly a decade.
