~ The Invitation ~
Join us at Chalmers United Church in downtown Kingston, Ontario on Wednesday evenings from April 2nd to June 18th for a rejuvenating dose of community and song. Whether you’re a seasoned songbird or someone who only ever sings in the shower, you are so so welcome! ♥

It’s no secret that life can be tough, and sometimes we need a space to breathe and recharge. Singing together helps us do that. It’s a way to care for ourselves and, in turn, show up for the world with a little more kindness and resilience.

Science backs this up too: group singing can boost your mood, ease anxiety, and even strengthen your immune system. But beyond the research, there’s something simple and powerful about sharing voices in a room—it reminds us we’re not alone. So bring yourself, just as you are, and let’s sing together.

Each 1.5-hour gathering is an opportunity to learn 5 to 8 songs, from playful riffs to deeply moving melodies. Many of the songs we sing are about nature, wellness, hope, love, and our very human struggles. Steph and Paul, our amazing facilitators, will guide us with a simple repeat-after-me teaching style, so the songs are easy to pick up—usually in just 10 to 20 minutes. It's never long before we're weaving our voices together in sweet layers and harmonies.

Here's what to expect:
-A welcoming environment that embraces you and your voice as they are.
-Permission and encouragement to explore your voice at your own pace.
-Opportunities to connect with like-hearted humans and experience a sense of community.
-Easy-to-learn, heart-softening songs, ranging from playful to powerful and sacred, that will leave you feeling oh-so-OK in all of your tenderness.

There may be tears. There will certainly be laughter. Come prepared for the full range of feelings! ☀?⛅

~ FAQs ~
Q: What kinds of songs do you sing?
A: While you will occasionally learn and sing a portion of a well-known song, it is likely that you won't recognize most of the songs we sing at first. Over the years, Steph &amp; Paul have filled their pockets with 100+ mantra-like songs that are therapeutic by nature and easy to learn. We like to think of them as song companions - you can call upon them in your daily life to nourish your wellness and resilience. Many of these songs have been written by folks in the community singing network and carry rich origin stories. With time, you too may find that your pockets are full of these songs and that you are singing them wherever you go.

For a taste of the songs we sing, visit find us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyjJ0b1AeJfwI9EQc0OVd5LPPOdJ5OBNZ .

Q: Can I drop in?
A: YES. As we're newly setting roots down in Kingston, we welcome full-series and drop-in registrations.

All first-time participants are welcome to join one song circle for free before committing to further participation. Use the promo code SPRING2025TRIAL to unlock your free trial.

If you are torn between dropping in and committing to the full term, we highly recommend you dive in for the eight-week experience. With every week, you will become more comfortable in the group and ultimately get more out of the experience.

Q: How can I support this offering? (In other words, what does it cost?)
A: We invite you to give what is meaningful and sustainable based on your unique lived experience. We use the term "sustaining contribution" below to let you know that this is the amount we need to receive per person on average to sustainably continue offering our song circles. The beauty of community is that where some can give less, others can give more, and it all works out.

Sustaining Contribution for the Spring Term: 
$220 for 12 weeks (includes access to our Monday online song circles if/when we get them going again) 
or $20 per song circle
Drop-in Sliding Scale: $10-30

If you know you want to sing regularly but won't be able to make a contribution within the sliding scale, we encourage you to reach out to Steph at steph@fiercelyok.ca to discuss alternate options, such as payment plans, energy exchanges, and COME RECEIVE spots.

Q: How do you support people of all abilities, identities and singing experiences to participate?
A: While we acknowledge that we have work to do, we are endeavouring to create spaces in which folks of all abilities, identities and singing experiences are able to participate in ways that are satisfying to them. All songs will be taught in the repeat-after-me style and will be simple enough to learn in one sitting.

If you feel concerned about being able to pick up the lyrics , rest assured that we're careful to choose songs that aren't too wordy. We will teach the songs in bite-size chunks and check in with you often. If a chunk is too long, we will teach a shorter chunk. We will move at a human pace and leave no one behind. If visual aids are helpful for you, please bring along a little notebook to jot down the lyrics and let us know if you would like any assistance catching the words. We're here to support you!

The space we use at Chalmer's United Church (MacCallum Hall) is wheelchair accessible.

All bathrooms at Chalmer's are gender-neutral.

While we are working to anticipate your needs, we warmly invite you, if and when you feel safe enough, to let us know how we can best support you to show up. Together, as a community, we will grow.

Q: What is your wellness/COVID policy?
A: We are currently asking that participants complete their own wellness self-assessment prior to attending Fiercely OK events. Please attend only if you are feeling well and have not recently been sick or been in contact with someone who was sick. If you are unsure of whether you should attend, please complete this self-assessment: https://www.ontario.ca/self-assessment/ and reach out to Steph. If any symptoms of COVID-19, flu or other contagious illness become apparent during the event or in the 5 days after the event, please notify Steph right away.

Decisions regarding if and how to practice physical distancing at Fiercely OK events are left to the discretion of individuals in attendance. Masks are optional and most likely *will not* be worn by most participants. We ask that all participants exercise caution and sensitivity with regard to masking, maintaining physical distance, and practising hand hygiene in the presence of other participants. In case the circumstances require masking, we recommend that you bring a well-fitting N95 mask with you to the event. Please note that these guidelines and protocols are subject to change at any time without notice.

Q: What is your refund policy?
A: While we do not guarantee refunds, we are committed to our relationship with you! We will consider refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Please be in touch if you would like a credit, full or partial refund; we will work together to find an agreeable solution.

If you cancel your attendance due to health reasons or circumstances outside your control, you will be offered a credit you can apply to a future song circle with Steph &amp; Paul.
