Join us on Friday, February 2nd for Singing for Catharsis! In this time of deep winter, we'll sing songs and chants on the themes of the Irish holiday of Imbolc, which celebrates the return of spring, the creative force of fire, the germination of seeds, and the holy woman Bride/Brigid. This will be a devotional setting, with opportunities to offer gratitude to Bride/Brigid. We will have a drummer accompanying us. Feel free to bring snacks and drinks to share and enjoy during our breaks. You are asked to register and pay ahead of time in order to attend! More details below.

About Singing for Catharsis:

We sing easy-to-learn songs and experiment with singing them for extended periods of time to help us move into the state of catharsis/relaxation/oxytocin release/altered state that ritual chant has provided for countless people for thousands of years. After each song we take time to decompress, drink water, and talk about our experiences. We will only explore a few songs, some for as long as an hour. Folks are welcome to take breaks during the songs if they need to. Saro Lynch-Thomason gently guides the space and offers songs as we go.

In Song,

Saro Lynch-Thomason
